Gays at Notre Dame dunno bornacatholic, but apparently, YOUR FAMILY better not seek solace from within the Catholic Faith (based upon what I see in this thread).
I always turn to the Catholic Church for solace. Al you have to do is check my posts for evidence of that.
And, I am certainly not without empathy for those with a disordered appetite (seing as how I have innumerable weaknesses myswlf).
Here is something I posted previously.

I think the Catechism is on the money and I am grateful for the realistic approach the Vatican has taken. Homosexuality is something I, thanks be to God, don't have to deal with. As a heterosexual who is incredibly weak in virtually all of my passions, I feel a real sympathy for those who have a sexual attraction for others of the same sex. I would have been a miserable failure were i a homosexual and had to remain celibate. As it is, I am a miserable failure as a heterosexual trying to be chaste.
I like the balanced approach we have. Heterosexual acts are never permissible. We have to show compassion for those dealing with same sex attraction - especially in our sex-saturated society.
