"LGBT students may be expelled if they express same-sex attraction in a way that causes "confusion or distraction" or insist on following gender norms of the opposite sex."

There you have it - in a nutshell the reason all the contortionist rhetoric and pretzel-twisting attempting to bridge the wide gulf that exists between the LGTB community and the church is ultimately pointless. If concern over "confusion" about church teaching trumps gay people's ability to be ourselves and lead normal lives in which love and yes, sexual attraction are as much a part of everyday life as everyone else's, there is no hope for any kind of reconciliation. The church should simply be honest and just come right out and say there is no place for gay people in the Roman Catholic Church - because the truth is, there really isn't.
