Fr. James Martin Says There Is “Not Currently” a Catholic Rite That Recognizes Same-Sex Relationships

. . .almost from the very beginning, Martin said:  Sadly, many people still believe that people choose their sexual orientation.  Despite the testimony of almost every psychiatrist, psychologist, biologist, social scientist, & more important, the lived experience and testimony of LGBT people themselves.  You do not choose your orientation or gender identity, any more than you choose to be left-handed. . .
