This thread is ALL ABOUT sexual orientation.  The official church, especially in the U.S. has had its mind 'below the belt' on SEX, SEXUALITY, SEXUAL EXPRESSION for far too long. 

Those who hold 'natural law' and the teachings of the magisterium as the ultimate authority, fail the people with their abstract and prefabricated understandings from by-gone-eras.

How Christians are to act, as humans, as sexual beings, in any capacity---does not come from moralizing principles and models authoritatively imposed from above on a passive people, but from active involvement by the people themselves, based on their experiences from the act of living life and experiencing love.
