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?
Yes, that is correct.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
