"Side-B is just more therapeutic Side X/Y"
Hello everyone. Over the past few months, I have been actively researching and thinking about the Church's stance on homosexuality and the discussions on this subreddit have helped me a lot.
One point that is often made here without much further elaboration is that Side-B is just more therapeutic Side X/Y and although I can kind of assume how people get to this argument, I feel like there isn't really a proper, fleshed out explanation for it. I think the biggest evidence for it, honestly, is that all Side-B gay Christians/Catholics I see online (and one I met irl) all seem miserable or ashamed in some way - but that is just my observation. The fact that Side-B opposes conversion therapy or "pray the gay away" efforts, that it is fine with using LGBT terminology usually, and especially that it encourages celibate partnerships, makes it leagues better than Side X/Y. The way I see it as well, one could make the argument for celibate vocations without describing homosexual orientation as "objectively disordered," (which I don't think is the case at all) though that is my perspective - not a commonly espouses Side-B point.
So, for Side-A Catholics on here who make the critique that B, X and Y are basically the same, are there any more arguments? I feel like I am in a weird in-between spot between Side A and B currently, so it would be greatly helpful and it would be advantageous to more deeply develop this critique.
