Introduction - The path towards orgasmic justice! -- Chapter 1. Does God hate LGB persons? -- Chapter 2. Does the Catholic Church hate LGB persons? -- Chapter 3. Does the Catholic Church teach that persons who experience same-sex attractions have a disease or a medical disorder? -- Chapter 4. What is the problem with LGB sexual intimacy and orgasmic justice? -- Chapter 5. Are Catholics homophobic? -- Chapter 6. There is widespread evidence of homosexual activity in the animal kingdom, so surely this is evidence supporting the normality of this behaviour? -- Chapter 7. Same-sex attraction is a passion, and Catholics teaching people not to act on their sexual passion (by insisting they do not have sex) is an act of mental cruelty? -- Chapter 8. Aren't all LGB people born this way, so therefore it is very unfair that they should be asked to forgo sexual intimacy? -- Chapter 9. The attitude of the Catholic Church towards LGB persons offends so many good things that modern society aspires to. Is this true? -- Chapter 10. So why do Catholics think people experience a range of different sexual attractions? -- Chapter 11. The Catholic Church teaches that LGB persons and their sexual acts are intrinsically disordered. This sounds insulting. What does this mean? -- Chapter 12. The Catholic Church teaches that LGB sexual acts are unnatural. This sounds insulting. What does this mean? -- Chapter 13. Love is love! Isn't consent the best way to decide if an LGB sexual relationship is good? -- Chapter 14. Isn't saying that LGB persons must "refrain from sexual activity" a way to commit these people to a lifetime of guilt, loneliness and depression? -- Chapter 15. The evidence from most studies into LGB adoption shows no difference in outcomes of the adopted children between heterosexual and homosexual couples. Why does the Catholic Church oppose LGB child adoption? -- Chapter 16. Why do Catholics oppose gay marriage and civil partnerships? -- Chapter 17. Surely there are more important problems in the world than LGB sex issues, so why does the church make such a big thing about LGB sex? -- Chapter 18. Is the Catholic Church being homophobic by not permitting LGB persons to become priests or nuns? -- Chapter 19. Do Catholics blame LGB persons as being the main cause of child sex abuse by Catholic priests, monks and nuns? -- Chapter 20. You cannot be serious! Do any LGB persons really believe what the church teaches? -- Chapter 21. Why do Catholics teach that LGB persons cannot form families? -- Chapter 22. Why do LGB persons need Jesus? -- Chapter 23. The Old Testament and homosexuality: truth or madness? -- Chapter 24. Would Jesus attend a gay pride parade? -- Chapter 25. What is the big issue with masturbation? -- Chapter 26.
