Everyone is welcome in the Catholic Church.
Created in the image of the one God and equally endowed with rational souls, all men have the same nature and the same origin. Redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ, all are called to participate in the same divine beatitude: all therefore enjoy an equal dignity.
The Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being homosexual. But homosexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy.
The Church specifically says that homosexuals "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."
With love in Christ.

No, the church says you can be gay but you can't have any gay sex of anytype.
So, really, the answer is no.
I gave up being Catholic, I go to the Metropolitan Community Church now which is very accepting of gay and lesbians in a proper christian lifestyle,,,,,ie: not being slutty and sleeping around....

Hi, of course they will be accepted even if they have had sex, Its the people within the church that have the problem, not the church itself

Sure they are welcomed. They just have to meet the right priest who thinks they are all he ever dreamed of...
