<blockquote>
 
  "The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. They do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. The persons are called to fulfill [[God]]'s will in their lives and, if they are [[Christians]], to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition" (CCC 2358).
