It is a well known fact that after marriage most couples have less sex than before. So if the Pope wants to stop Gay people from having deviant sex, he should just legalize same-sex Marriage!
Exactly!
OP: I live in a traditionally Catholic country, France, which still doesn't have gay marriage. I maintain what I said before, that France is an overall homophobic country, and yeah, I am NOT in the LEAST surprised that this Pope, or any Pope for that matter, should say things like that. Hell, they even oppose using condoms! Their only credo is
abstinence if you want to avoid unwanted pregnancy, or AIDS or any STD. Indeed, sex is not for fun, according to them.
I never did sympathize much with any (monotheistic) religion.
But even if marriage is a disaster, and raising kids makes you wonder why you wanted them in the first place, sometimes, I still think EVERYONE should have the same rights, even if they choose not to enjoy them.
