What about the Harvey Milk argument?
You "godless atheists" seem to be fine with adults having sex with under age kids, as long as the person is homosexual.

An underaged kid can't legally consent. The word consent that I used is very important.

Correct.
18 is age of consent in California, yet Milk was tappin' a 16 year old.

And we know this priest wasn't kicked out for having sex with underaged kids or teens. He is just gay.

Here's the thing, priests are supposed to practice celibacy. Therefore if you choose to abstain from sex, why would sexual orientation matter? Why even come out?
It's most likely he wanted to leave the church, just couldn't do it without being a publicity queen.

A homosexual priest? I am utterly and truly shocked... Shocked, I tell you!

I'm heterosexual. This is not because I have sex with women. it's because I'm attracted to women. Even a celibate man is heteroseual, or homosexual, and he felt like coming out for whatever reason he deemed appropriate. Maybe he felt he was a good guy with a good reputation, and letting people know he's gay also lets people know that gays can be good people too.
I'm pretty sure you don't need to be excommunicated just to leave the church. Even if that was the case, and he is legitimately gay, then being straight about it (lol) is at least honest. I doubt it's just because he wanted publicity. Not sure what positive outsome he'd get out of it.
