And there are members of the Church who experience same-sex attraction but strive for a life of chastity, who have a powerful message for those who long to "move beyond the confines of the homosexual label to a more complete identity in Christ." See, for example, Tina's, Jonah's and Blake's testimonies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA4gpJUpvpc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA4gpJUpvpc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbAqzGsjl30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbAqzGsjl30 Those videos are featured by the Courage apostolate: http://couragerc.org/courage/#testimonies http://couragerc.org/courage/#testimonies This comment is not intended to be inflammatory; my intention is simply to share an alternate perspective.

And there are members of the Church who experience heterosexual attraction but strive for a life of chastity, who have a powerful message for those who long to "move beyond the confines of all labels to a more complete identity in Christ." And fair play to them if it is what they believe. It doesn't work for everyone though, as is eminently obvious if you look to scandals over the years across all religious groups who swear selected members to chastity.
