I am an atheist who grew up Catholic and I find I am incompatible with a lot of the secular world, when it comes to important values to live by. For example, what is marriage, what is love, what is the meaning/value of sex, to what extent is one prepared to sacrifice themselves for others, what is family, what is money, what role should charity play in society, what is a good life well lived, the relationship between the self and society, ...honestly so many aspects of the philosophy of life to consider.
I am not 100% in agreement with the official Church doctrine in all aspects, but then again no Catholic is. But I find myself much more at home with other people from a similiar background irrespective of whether they are still believers or not.
I suspect these gay Catholic find themselves in a similiar situation. They probably do not share much in common with the secular world.
Lots of people will immediately call this hypocrisy but they just have not put that much thought into it. There is more to life than sexual preferences.
