HOMOSEXUALITY AND CHRISTIANITY

So nowadays a theme that is very present in society is homosexuality. It seems like the society is slowly starting to "accept" gay people, and more and more are coming out.
I am a christian catholic girl and I know that the catholics don´t accept either homosexuality nor homosexual marriage.
And I´m going to try to explain what I think about this.
On the one side, I think God created the man and the woman so that these would come together as one and continue the human specie. So I understand, in some way, why my religion doesn´t accept gay marriage, because that was not what God wanted. But on the other side, God loves all of us, and he loves us just the way that we are. If that is so, and if God created us just like we are, that is, if God created someone gay, why would he reject them later? I understand why God rejects the ones that do gay practices but out of lust and just looking for pleasure, but that in the same way he rejects heterosexual people who just have sex looking for pleasure and all out of lust.
Then, there is this thing that some people say that gay people are sick, and therefore should be cured. I think that´s all shit. If a boy, an innocent, good, kind boy is in love with his best boyfriend, how in the world are you gonna tell him that he´s sick? How would he feel? How would he feel if he was told his love is just a sickness that needs to be cured huh? No man, that´s not the way,not at all.
And what about a christian boy or girl who have been good all their lifes, who pray and have faith and are good and kind, suddenly realize they´re gay? Should they stop going to mass? Should they stop praying? Should they compel themselves to like people of the opposite sex? Should they hide their sexuality? I dont think so, I´m sorry but I don´t think so.
What I think is that God loves us all, he loves us so so much in the same way, it doesn´t matter who you are, how you are or what you do, God still loves you a lot. And if you´re gay, he loves you just as much. So those of you out there who are christians and gay, don´t be scared and never doubt of God´s love towards you, never, ever. Try to be good and do as God tells, be good to others and pray and have faith.
I think it is very brave of gay people to come out and tell the world about it, and I think our response, no matter what religion you believe in, should be acceptance, respect and non-judgement. Because the truth is, we are no one to judge anyone, that´s God job, and if we suddenly discover someone close to us is gay, or we see maybe a gay couple on the street, we should accept it and be respectful.
I also think the biggest proof that gay people are not to be blamed for being gay is that nobody likes it at first, and Im sure that when someone suddenly discovers they´re gay, at that moment they would die to be heterosexual, or they would think it would be easier if they weren´t gay. But they are, and we have to respect it, and before judging someone for it, think about yourselve, if you havent done anything wrong in your life that deserves even worse judgement.
God created us, and he loves us, and he wants all of us to be together in heaven. ALL of us.
