You can say you don't wish suffering upon people all you want, but when you're literally advocating for forcing them to suffer nobody will believe you.

How is your choice between loneliness and a mockery of a true relationship necessary?

You do realize how how pyrrhic the thing you're advocating for is? You say you don't want gay people to spend their lives alone, but you would reduce options to a hollow, unfulfilling mockery of a true relationship or celibacy. Would a loving God truly reduce gay people to those options and those alone? Especially if he made them gay to begin with?

Not if you force gay people to be miserable by not letting them act on their sexuality.

So, you would still want them to be unhappy and miserable.

You don't seem to get that marriage is a sacrament. I don't blame you for that, as that's how most people see it.

Ah so you are saying that you are willing to force people into suffering and loneliness. Now do you think that such an existence is good for the children of such a marriage? Wouldn't it be better for the children if their parents were in a happy fulfilling relationship with a person they are capable of having a fulfilling relationship with?

I thought that sacrament included love. Since homoromantic individuals will never love their partner then you are either forcing people to lie to god or remain alone for their entire life.

Marriage is an outdated practice imho, but so long as we have it, you should bear in mind that it is no longer in the sole domain of religion.

At least you admit that what you are proposing will cause suffering. The next step is to renounce that proposal.

History does not agree with that.
Marriage predates your religion. Pair bonding predates even marriage.

The sacrament includes love, yes. It includes the love between a husband and wife but it's not about the husband or the wife. Generally speaking, our lives are not about us.

I notice you ignored my question about the children. And yes, our lives are about us since we are the only ones who can live them. If the marriage is not about the people involved in the marriage then it has already failed as a marriage. It is truly astonishing how badly you understand human psychology as well as what will harm people. But then you claim that people should be forced to suffer so there is that as well.

Reason is not to be utilized for its own narrow sake, but for the sake of sanctification. We have free will so we can adequately love God in return. It's a choice, ideally a reasonable choice to marry a man and woman.
