So what about me? I'm an intersex individual. If you don't know what that means here's a simple explanation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex<br /><br />Basically, I was born both male and female. I'm also bisexual, so am able to choose which sex I wish to marry. <br /><br />To think that human beings are both physically and psychologically made just one definitive way is untrue. Humans are very diverse in all areas including sexuality. We aren't all 100% man or 100% woman. There are proven variations in the gender spectrum. I'm just one of them<br /><br />How does your very narrow view apply to people like me?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560483615460834385.post-27877969297608051852015-05-04T13:38:34.471-04:002015-05-04T13:38:34.471-04:00As far as I'm aware there are no rules about w...As far as I'm aware there are no rules about what you wear at your wedding nor the sex of the witnesses to the marriageFather John Hollowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12850864104003705536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560483615460834385.post-35799100379252910562015-05-03T00:14:20.373-04:002015-05-03T00:14:20.373-04:00Would it make a difference if the two of them wore...Would it make a difference if the two of them wore tuxedos and both sides had groomsmen and a "Best Man"?

The Church says that in order for a marriage to take place, sexual intercourse between complementary sexual organs must take place. It sounds like Aydian can marry Steve in the scenario you've laid outFather John Hollowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12850864104003705536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560483615460834385.post-76420560477093383192015-04-30T19:15:07.318-04:002015-04-30T19:15:07.318-04:00Fr.

On the cover of Men's Health(a magazine) you will find a photograph of Aydian Dowling, a transgender female -> male. Aydian has the appearance of a man in every single way; with the exception of the "private parts." Internally, Aydian still has female organs. Aydian has a six-pack, no female breasts, facial hair and a deep voice. Let's say that Aydian wanted to marry another man named "Steve". Would the Catholic Church recognize this marriage between Aydian and Steve to be valid? If not, why not?

Thumbs up, Fr. It's getting more and more "interesting" to proclaim the Truth in today's political environment.
