This is what saddens me about religion...to see how its teachings can cause person to literally discriminate against themselves.
If making a commitment to celibacy makes him happy and he's happy with his life and his decision, then I don't see why anyone would object.
The problem is not with his choice to be celibate but with the message that homosexuality is wrong. He also thinks the church being against homosexuality is a good thing because it denies him things he wants, that's all fine and good for him, but the church opposes gay marriage for everyone and fights to deny rights.
