Here is what the catechism says- and that is- what the Catholic Church says - about homosexuality. And the reference is certainly biblical as all of Catholicism is , namely, ref 141 Cf. Gen 191-29; Rom 12

No Member of the Church ire archly can change it, no priest pope or bishop, no school teacher, fallen away catholic, feminist nor anyone calling themselves Catholic, disagreeing with this for whatever reason can change this. No Supreme Court ruling can change catholic teaching

So I guess by tribe the author is hinting that she thinks she can change church teaching by shaming the church calling it tribal

When people state that their own wisdom is better than teaching that comes from the word of God the church warns against pride

Chastity and homosexuality

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.”142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
