Actually, I'm not that clear what the Catholic church's position is on gays and lesbians. Is there anything you're not telling us?
No, it causes me no tension.
The position of the Church is that any sexual activity that is not between husband and wife, is not moral. That includes hetero and homosexual sex just the same. Now the position on gay folks themselves is that they don't choose to have the attraction they do, and "They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided" ... Catechism 2358
But if the Catholic church doesn't condone gay marriage, then it must hold that gays should never have sex?
