No one is forced to be a Catholic.
LGBTQ and Homosexuals are welcome to leave at any time. Those who join Catholicism, clearly understand the Catechesis (as they have to go through RCIA) and if they conclude that they don't fit, they can go to another denomination.
I went through RCIA and we had people who literally decided to leave the night before Easter Vigil and no one harassed or bothered them.
You are welcome to disagree with the Church but to compare Catholicism with a Cult is disingenuous.

- reissbaker 4y ago"No one is forced to be a Catholic." Have you heard of the Spanish Inquisition? Hundreds of thousands of Jews and Muslims forcibly converted to Catholicism or faced with ethnic cleansing, with mass executions claiming thousands of victims. Or the Portugese inquisition? Or when Galileo was imprisoned for life for heresy against the Catholic Church? Not to mention what Catholicism did to the Americas... Or for more recent examples, how about when the Catholic Church took two Jewish children whose parents had been killed at Auschwitz, converted them to Catholicism, and refused to return them to their surviving relatives, resulting in a nearly decade-long post-war manhunt where the Church hid the children in a variety of monasteries under false names while refusing court orders to return the children, telling them that their entire family was dead — when in fact their sisters and aunt had survived — under the direct advice of the Pope? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finaly_Affair https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finaly_Affair
