RE: Has anyone ever found a way to reconsile being Gay/Bi/Lesbien and being a Christian?

There are a lot of gay accepting churches out there and a lot of gay Christians. In fact, I have several of them on my facebook friends list.
With Catholicism, it's a little trickier. The layout of the Catholic church is that they take all their orders from the Pope. So, while the Baptists, for example, split into the First Baptists and the Southern Baptists, the Catholics all have to have the same belief pattern as the Pope. And if the Pope says homosexuality is a sin, good little Catholics don't really have a choice on the matter; they HAVE to think it's a sin, or else they're disagreeing with the supposedly infaliable Pope.
I do know a few queer Catholics but, honestly, I don't see how they rectify their queerness and their religion.
