You’re saying come on in gay dudes, we the Catholic Church will never turn away sinners.

Gay couples are not going to stop being gay just because they go to mass and get blessed.

Being gay in and of itself is not the sin. The Catholic Church is very clear on that.

Acting upon it is the sin. A gay person can always repent his sin and become celibate. Then they’re welcomed back into the Church. No different than heterosexuals who stop having sex outside of marriage and repent their past sins.

Now the fact is, the Church doesn’t recognize gay marriage. So that could be problematic for gay couples.
