I'm Catholic and gay too. I was raised Catholic before I was aware what sexual orientation even was, and my belief is that the "Senior Management" of the Church is (as regards practising one's sexual orientation if it's not hetero), wrong, or at least, labouring under a misapprehension for the moment (I'm an optimist)
Who I am attracted to does not interfere with my ability to believe the basic teachings of Christ, and a God whose most basic credo is love for all, could not (IMHO) be against the love of two adult people who are of a mutual mind to be together because of that love.
God and I will have a chat about it at the appropriate time, and I believe that he is a MUCH better judge of people than any human, so will judge my life by something more important than who I happened to be attracted to.
And as shadowpsykie notes, the official Vatican line is not strictly adhered to everywhere.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
