A homosexual Catholic who is celibate need only confess to whatever impure thoughts his sickness cause, do the required penance, and be absolved. Just like a normal individual who thinks about improper sexual behavior but resists the temptation. That's the ritual, anyway.
Just confessing in prayer and asking Christ for forgiveness is all it really takes. God hates the sin, but loves the sinner.
I haven't seen the "burn the faggots" crowd at FR, you must be encountering them elsewhere.
