He has an affliction that tempts him to destructive behavior but instead of warning others of the difficulty of this burden, he defends it's existence as a creation of God.

"in God's infinite love I was created a ....thief, liar, arsonist, adulterer, whatever!!!" How dare he!!! The most compelling reason for NOT ordaining any man with a homosexual orientation is the avoidance of the "near occasion of sin". The priesthood by design is a fraternity. How difficult is it for a priest to maintain his vow of celibacy when he will be constantly challenged by living a life of fraternity?
