Eve Tushnet is a lesbian Catholic who is faithful to Rome and its teachings. She writes that Catholicism offers some unique gifts to gay Catholics, which (tragically) aren't well known. Catholicism rejects both the idea that homosexual inclinations should be blessed and indulged, and the idea that those desires can always be eliminated. So what can be done with them within a context of faithful Christian life?
The answer, of course, is for gays to "celebrate their love while still requiring that this love express itself as chaste friendship or mystical approach to God rather than as gay sex."
In the "you can't make this up" department, Rod's next post implores evangelicals to get married sooner so they can fuck each other.
