"After all, what establishes relationships is essentially the emotional relationship, that is, love. Let's stop thinking that homosexuals are essentially "sexual". First of all, they are emotional, they have significant cohabitation relationships just like heterosexual families. They can very well adopt children because it is not necessarily the case that two people of the same sex are "bad". And children need love, not necessarily sexual differences. Let them stop saying that the family is made up of a man and a woman, because this is a fundamentally materialist vision, defended by Catholics who always talk about the spirit. Because if the criterion of being together is simply to bring children into the world, then this is the most sinister materialism. While being together also has the meaning of loving each other, of dedicating oneself to an educational work. [...] children are children not because you sleep with a woman and the woman sleeps with a man, they are children because you raise them, because you are together [with them], because you answer their questions , because you pay attention to their needs. This means "fatherhood" and "motherhood", whoever it is carried out by."
