As a celibate gay man, I acknowledge my homosexuality, but also acknowledge God's divine mandate to live in a state of grace.  It is a very difficult struggle, but through the grace received by the Sacraments it is possible.  The zeitgeist desperately wants the Church to accept homosexual behavior as "normal" and even blessed by God, but it can't.  I know that living a care-free homosexual life would probably be much easier, but Christ said the road to Heaven is narrow and in order to follow Him, we must take up our cross and deny all that attaches us to this world.
