Being gay itself isn't a sin. Fornication (with the same sex or otherwise) is a sin. Cultivating lustful thoughts is also a sin. The sin of scandal may also be relevant.
2357 - 2359 of the Catholic Catechism:
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
You didn't comment on the fact that he clearly proclaimed to be in favor of Homophobia laws, something you were denying in your first commentary.
I also appreciate that you showed us the canons of the catechism, but unfortunately, nobody here disagrees with the church's doctrine. Who disagrees with the catechism is Fr Lancelotti. Let's take a look at this specific fragment from the catechism:
Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
Any moral teaching based on orthodoxy must remind lay people that homosexual acts and tendencies are a disorder and must be avoided and suppressed.
Now let's see what Fr Lancelotti has to say:
Being LGBT is a sin?To sin is to act inhumanely. One may be hetero or LGBT or trans and be inhumane.
Is this the teaching of catechism? I don't think so! In my opinion he refuses to proclaim that homosexual acts are in fact a sin.
One of the most influential priests in Brazil, Fr. Julio Lancelotti:

And be sure that many bishops are also supporting this, even if they are not so outspoken.
The situation of the catholic church in Brazil is terrible.
All he's saying is that discrimination against them is wrong, which is in the catechism. That's not the same as approving the homosexual agenda.
he literally said it is a crime. there are videos of him refusing to say that homossexuality i alsos a sin

In fact, he even says that official declarations of the catholic church do not matter, and he even hopes that someday the church will change its doctrine to "accommodate LGBT people entriely".
Anyway, I just picked Fr Lancelotti as an example, because the Brazilian clergy is full of liberal traitors, like Fr Ticão who makes thematic masses dedicated to the "holy herb" Marijuana, or father Jose Pinto who liked to fight racism dancing vodoo songs in the middle of the sunday mass.
Well Catholics are fucktards.
