Can I be gay and Catholic at the same time?

[agape92]

i am wondering if i’ll go to heaven even if i’m gay. i live a chaste life, go to church on sundays. however, i love my gay friends and have a lot of fun with them. i know gay marriage is not allowed, but can i still share a life with a gay partner?
