And you are simply wrong that the Church teaches that you are intrinsically sinful by existing if you are gay. Yes, the Church teaches that the attraction is disordered and I can understand how someone has issues with that and can misinterpret it. But the Church does NOT and never has called a person intrinsically sinful. Acts are sins, not people. The Church calls upon everyone to love one's neighbor and specifically teaches that unjust treatment of ANYONE is a sin. Only the diocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis in Minnesota has made any statements regarding those who come to communion in a rainbow sash and rightly so, because they seek to politicize what is the most sacred act we do. No one stops to ask if you are gay, actively in a gay relationship or having gay sex before you receive communion. We never judge your soul when you come up seeking to receive in a respectul manner. That's why the rainbow sash issue was decided that way in one diocese. It isn't seen as coming to receive, but rather to make a statement. It turns an act of unity with God into a statement about one's self.
