They can do that partially, but not completely,

I would venture to guess that not a single catholic family in America does so "completely".

Regardless, they cannot in good faith agree to the responsibilities that parents are reminded of at their child's baptism.

Putting aside the question of whether homosexuals should be raising children, even if that is presumed in the affirmative, it is absurd for these guys to be claiming to be "devout" Catholics.

There are about 30,000 other Christian demoninations available to them, many of which embrace homosexuality. But, as long as they claim to be Catholics, they have certain responsibilities to at least try, which is all any of us can do, to live according to our Faith.

One can be either a practicing homosexual, or you are Catholic, but not both. Celibacy is the prescribed Catholic state for those with a homosexual inclination.
