i look at religion as a marketing campaign. you can buy this brand of God or that brand. most people pick the brand that they grew up with. in the end the packaging doesn't matter it's the contents. -- love the lord thy god with all your heart and love your neighbor as your self in this is ALL the law and prophets-- does it say anywhere in that statement that you have to be straight?

Of course.
There are many homosexual Catholics.
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."
Here is the text of the document, On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons (1986): http://www.newadvent.org/library/docs_df86ho.htm
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 2357-2359: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art6.htm#2357
With love in Christ.

Being Catholic has nothing to do with how you identify your sexuality. You may feel guilt because the religion preaches against homosexuality but anyone could be born homosexual or transgender. It is what it is, You cannot deny your feelings without causing yourself misery and depression.

I am. Gay does not mean you have to be pro-choice and Catholic does not mean you cannot be gay

Give up being Catholic! (A closet for pedophiles) Find a religion that treats You with respect! (the Metropolitan Community Church, Unitarians) The bible was written by man and all that dogma IS manmade to have some control upon people. ps I am and did and are much happier with more self respect
