Over the past few years, I have become really angry at God because of my same sex attractions. I feel like I am stuck with no answers. I clearly see three options, all of which suck: 1) seek conversion therapy and if even possible to shift my attractions, wait many years, 2) live chastely in accordance with Catholic teaching but be very lonely and sad or 3) live with a partner but in mortal sin. I guess the biggest question that I’m asking is what should I do? I ran out of options and I’m about ready to leave the church. I used to strongly believe in God and the church, and God’s mercy and love, or whatever, but I have experienced none of it. All I have experienced is loneliness and anxiety. Can someone give me an answer besides pray because I tried that, for years, and I got nothing. I’m also really tired of hearing about God’s plan for me because so far it seems like his plan is to keep me isolated and sad to follow the rules his church came up with.
 
Dear friend,

It is quite possible for a person with same sex attraction to live a happy, celibate life with many close friends—plus a close relationship with the Lord . You have got to watch this:
