One of many problems with the article - it doesn't sound like the author understands what a vow is. There's a difference between leading a chaste life (which all of us should be doing, regardless of our state in life) and taking a vow.
If, as a Catholic, you aren't married (and these guys certainly aren't and never can be), you live a celibate life until you are, or try to. But no one forces you to take a vow!

The most disturbing thing is that these fellow parishoners would show any form of support for a homosexual couple, and, moreover, their intent to adopt a child. Breathtaking and shocking. V's wife

Exactly. It would have been a scandal if the church knew he was living an active sodomite lifestyle and kept him on. To teach one thing and then make exceptions based on "musical talent" would be sheer hypocrisy.
Good for Msgr. Kagan!
