Though I am not Roman Catholic, I would borrow their words and agree that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered, a perversion of the natural order, if you will. I don't endorse it.  

If that makes me a bigoted shitbag, as you say, that's fine.

It does.

And the "it will harm the impressionable children" thing is bullshit.  

First, there are children who are transgender, and gay.  While not necessarily having the words for it at certain ages (in part because the idiotic notions of society hides those words from them from ill-thought notions like the ones some have shown in this thread) all the evidence suggests that these orientations or gender identities are present in childhood, they don't magically spring up sometime post-adolescence.

Second, most kids are already becoming aware of this in this present time; trying to hide it is not just stupid, it's rapidly becoming futile.
And for the most part, they're not the ones who give a shit.  In my DCC campaign, its the 10-year old player who's playing a gender-fluid character; and he has no problem with it at all.  I have no idea if there's some OOC motivation for it, or if he's just totally comfortable with roleplaying it because he doesn't see it as any kind of big deal; but frankly, either way I think that's awesome.
