I am not a Catholic, but do sometimes attend Mass; and if I ever were to see a self identified disordered one making a spectacle out of Holy Communion, I would go physical on him/her/whatever.

Kudos to the bishops who are growing spines for whatever reason.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: just about eveybody has had some disordered sexual behavior in their life. Or, if not sexual --- fornication, divorce, contraception, adultery, whatever --- then some disorder of SOME kind, including things like alcoholism and eating disorders.

The point here is not that "people with sexual disorders can't receive Communion." The point is that you repent your sins, you confess your sins, you face up to the fact that you have some weakness or kinks in your character that need some repair, and you seek our merciful, powerful Savior for healing and redemption.

You don't come up for Communion wearing a button, badge, sash or T-shirt proclaiming pride about your particular moral difficulty.

Kudos to the bishops who are growing spines for whatever reason.

Their spines were already aligned and straight; they simply needed a reminder that it was 'okay' to voice their stances.
