With the overt negativity of your #1. Sex isn't water or food, and you can love without sex. They have come to find fulfilling platonic relationships with other men while not having to hide behind a sham heterosexual marriage.

Granted, it is hard, and I'm not discounting that people have had a difficult time in history, but it's easy to fall into the "if it feels good, do it" trap (though heterosexuals have our own problems there), but it can be done. The Courage apostolate (linked) is one of the main ones, but there are others.

My hope is that now that the taboo is gone, we can move on to it not seeming like a hopeless situation while at the same time be able to live lives faithful to Christ's teaching on marriage. But there will always be perversions of the law, of all kinds.

Edit: this post applies to both men and women.
