In the Catholic Church, the primary requirement for being a godparent is that the individual must be a baptized Catholic in good standing with the Church. While there is no explicit prohibition against gay individuals serving as godparents, their ability to fulfill this role may be influenced by their adherence to Church teachings, particularly regarding sexuality and moral conduct. Ultimately, the decision may vary by parish and the discretion of the priest or bishop involved.

Are gay people allowed to be christian?
A Christian is simply a term used to describe someone who believes in Christ. Being Christian does not mean you have to be attached to a religion. For example, one can believe in Christ without having to identify as Catholic or Anglican. In light of this, a person's sexual orientation does not stop a person from believing in God. In fact, there are many gay people who are Christians, and even follow a religion. Sadly, a lot of assumptions are made about Christians and gay people. Many people assume homosexuals are condemned in the Bible, while this belief is only an interpretation by various religions such as the Roman Catholic Church. Do not let this stop you from believing in God. We are all made in the image of God and everyone is equal.
