In practice they do.
One of my best friends is an openly gay Catholic deacon, who is actve in our parish. Our priest could care less- he has far more serious issues to deal with our congregation, like poverty.

The bible passage is Leviticus 20:13.
Also Jesus is the bridegroom and His Church is His bride. He laid down His life for Her. This shows a male/female relationship. This is also why their can't be woman priest. A woman priest can't may Tue woman church.
But the Catholic Church is not against nor hate gays. But the Church is against sin, and that includes sex outside of marriage. And because it is spiritually impossible for two same sex people to be married in God, any marriage that is attempted is false and any sexual action is sinful.
This is a brief view of Catholicism.

Catholics do accept homosexuals. So your essay is predicated on a lie.

First reason is that it says in the Bible ( I think in The Book of Daniel), that a man shall not lay with another man as he lays with a woman, for it is an abomination. Second reason is that it goes against the supposed moral code of a civilized society. And the third reason is because something different from "normal" scares the hell out of them!!

Umm, Catholics do accept gays. It's the protestants that don't. Lots of clergy are gay. It is just forbidden in catholicism for unmarried people to have sex, and that includes gay people as well.
