The Catholic Church has never thought that homosexuals are sins. Every human being is a child of God, and can never be considered a "sin". However, the Church teaches that homosexual behavior is a sin, but that is because people are using their free will to choose to pervert their God-given sexuality and use it for something for which it was not intended. Homosexuals, every bit as much as heterosexuals, are called to live in chastity for the Kingdom. Anytime we pervert our sexuality to use it for our own pleasure, and not in the way that God intended it, we are sinning, but that does NOT make people "sins."

Why do Catholics have to confess their sins to a priest?
Catholics must confess their sins to a priest as this is the only normal way in which Our Blessed Savior left for people to have their sins forgiven. Less serious sins (venial sins) may be forgiven with a good Act of Contrition and Holy Communion. Serious sins (mortal sins) may only be forgiven at Confession. Besides the Church requires that all adult Catholics must go to confession at least once a year, even if they have not committed any mortal sins. Any good Catholic who is sincerely trying to fall Christ and become perfect (Matthew 5:48) should be going to regular confession, weekly or at the least, every other week.
