University's Pastoral Statement on GLBTQ students, faculty and staff...attached...and here is an excerpt that resonates with my other secular post about the "Reality" of Gender Dysphoria...

------------------
The University affirms the Church’s position that persons who identify as gay or lesbian “must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided” (CCC, 2358). With the Church, the University continues to note “the distinction commonly drawn between the homosexual condition or tendency and individual homosexual actions” (The Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons, 1986, #3). With the American Bishops’ Committee on Marriage and Family, the University defends that “Generally, homosexual orientation is experienced as a given, not as something freely chosen. By itself, therefore, a homosexual orientation cannot be considered sinful“ (Always Our Children, USCCB, 1997). Moreover, the University endorses the emphatic pastoral teachings of the USCCB that “God has created every human person out of love and wishes to grant him or her eternal life in the communion of the Trinity. All people are created in the image and likeness of God and thus possess an innate human dignity that must be acknowledged and respected” (Ministry to Persons with a Homosexual Orientation, USCCB, 2006).
