The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches:
2396 Among the sins gravely contrary to chastity are masturbation, fornication, pornography, and homosexual practices.
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

The Catholic church has a problem with sex before marriage. If you are gay and celibate it wouldnt be a problem.
You can go to a Catholic church just like any other person.

Who cares what the Church thinks? Sexual preference is between you and God. God made you the way that he wants you to be. After all, God wants us to be happy. The Church doesn't always know everything.

if you want to be a homosexual parishonjer, you're not allowed, if you channel your homosexuality into the direction of a pedophile and develop a taste for little girls or young boys, they will give you a job as a Priest. Good Luck

They say it's naughty naughty naughty. But they're a bunch of old queens in fancy dresses and funny hats. Don't pay them any attention.

It simply states that a union of holy matrimony is that of a man and a woman, ONLY.
Cheers.
