People, especially homosexual people, need to get this straight:
It’s God who says marriage is between a man and a woman. Homosexual behavior is an abomination to God.
This is not some whimsical opinion by the Catholic Church, straight men and women, or any other entities.
Frankly, it’s out of our hands.
Church says same-sex attraction is a disorder and if you have it you are to live a celibate life. Most with this disorder who go to church and celibate are happier than they have ever been in their lives. The reason? Homosexuals might look happy on the outside, but they are miserable on the inside because they know it is wrong to act on this impulse. Alcoholism rates, suicide rates, and drug abuse rates of active homosexuals are sky high because they are tormented people and Christ is the answer for them just like He is for every one.
I wonder what you (or any of us) might have to offer as good pastoral strategies toward caring for gay people who turn up in the parish, for instance in the RCIA program? Or as parents of children who are enrolled in the parochial school?
