Reaching out to sinners is a far cry from inviting them to God’s house in tacit approval of their sinful behavior. You are inviting them to a Mass they are prohibited from participating in. Unless the service advises them on the sinfulness of their behavior, the consequences of such sin and calls them to repent, then the entire affair is a sham and blasphemous.

True, they should not be allowed to receive communion until they have repented and forsaken their sins and turned to follow the Lord Jesus Christ alone.

Good churches do not close their doors to those who need to hear the gospel; the good news of Jesus Christ.

I agree completely. Being gay—in that having that proclivity—is not a sin. Acting on it is a sin.

When the Church (or at least some clergy in this case) celebrates them in the name of tolerance, they are giving approval of the act and thus are approving of the sin and actually sinning themselves because according to Catholic doctrine supporting someone in their sin is a sin in and of itself.
