I was having trouble trying to understand my sexuality and how to respond to it spiritually, so I asked a priest and this is what he said. Just read it below in the quotes. I loved how he responded, because he was not judging me and this is the kind of response a priest should give when a Christian is struggling. If only all priests/spiritual leaders could understand this. God loves us and will not leave us no matter what we are struggling through and no matter how much we have sinned...even if we don't know whether it's really a sin or not. Because sometimes we really just don't know. only God truly knows. I hope his message helps you as much as it helped me. God bless!

"My first hope is that you might find a nearby priest or spiritual father/mother whom you trust. Someone you can speak to as often as you need. You are that important and special to God. You deserve amazing spiritual support.

Can I help you find such a person, one who is nearby? I am happy to try.

Still, if you need someone to write or talk to, I am here. Of course.

God loves each person, with unbounded and unlimited love, no matter who they are. All of us are broken, and none of us can judge our brother and sister. Jesus walks by our side, no matter what we do, have done, or ever will do. Believing in God's no-matter-what love is the first step we all must take. The Holy Spirit takes over from there. It sounds simple, but the good Lord knows that it is not easy. "
