Christ’s Church is timeless and so are certain laws, unpalatable though they may seem to “hip” and “woke” individuals. I’m sorry, but I struggle to receive communion from anyone except a priest, let alone receive Communion from someone in a same sex relationship. Hate me if you want. It’s not a lack of compassion or love. Love the sinner and hate the sin.
