text: I have two good friends who are "married," lots of friends who identify as "homosexual," including a Catholic priest, as well as a cousin who has been living with a partner for 30 years.  I love them all, bit that does not mean that I condone their choices to accept their same-sex attraction as an identity.  Interestingly, most of them are well aware of my attitude towards homosexuality, but they have never have demanded that I accept their choices.
  
  I can't think of any, aside from the priest, who claim to be Catholic, which makes sense.  I am long overdue for a discussion with my priest friend, but he is so narcissistic and, of course, being a priest knows it all, so I suspect I won't have much effect on his thinking.
  
  Of my closest friends, many made the choice of embracing their same-sex attraction even though having had loving relationships with women, including the priest, btw.  It's sad to me.
