Openly Proclaiming Our Sexuality...For What?

WITHIN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, there is now at least one openly gay bishop, and this is supposed to be some kind of big deal. It is, of course, a really big deal. We have, after an arduous journey, finally arrived at a point in time whereat a biship, at least one bishop, can be openly gay, and not get canned. At least, not yet.

We shall see. And we know that there are many more where he came from, agreed?What we are trying to do, of course, is arrive at a place where all people, of all faiths, genders, and sexual orientations, can be who they are, openly, unopenly, or otherwise, without judgment. We've still a long way to go, but, we are on our way.

but, though we strive to create a tolerant world, must we all announce our sexuality to others? Can't we simply safely assume that everyone has some sort of sexuality, and that whatever it may be, it is perfectly acceptable to be, and leave it at that?

My question is: why should this process include any priest, bishop, cardinal, or pope? why on earth would any priest in the catholic church be openly gay, straight, or anything, pertaining to sex? aren't priests supposed to be celibate, and to devote all of the energy which would have been invested in sexuality, in God?  Why should any of us have the faintest inkling of what some  priest's, any priest's sexuality is, or, for that matter, anyone else's?

Isn't it supposed to not matter what the sexualtiy of a priest is, and instead only matter the he has no human, worldly sexual life? We know that celibacy precludes not sexuality in human beings, and that everyone has some sexual orientation, one way or another. But why, among priests, be open about it, proudly? aren't priests commissioned to be sexual, but sexually inactive. and..perhaps..merely horny..and accepting of that lot in life? 

Hell, many of the rest of us are that way, much to our regret. What's wrong with "don't ask, don't tall, just accept? It worked well for the military, too bad they had to get rid of it, in their zeal to be progressive. I can have whatever interest in sex i want; why do others need to know about it? they don't.

Now of course we know that throughout history there have been sexually active popes, popes who fathered secret children, and all manner of variations of departure from church doctrine. However....
when asked about sexual orientation, shouldn't all priests say" "it really doesn't matter, does it?"

the point here has nothing to do with the agregious pedaphilic molestation scandal which has rocked the church over the past few years. That is another matter. The point is, why is it a big deal that a priest can "come out?" Come out....to what? Priestly celibacy?

What now, do all catholic priests worldwide now feel free to openly declare homosexuality, heterosexuality, bisexuality, or what not? Isn't it all, in the end, non sexuality? Can't we all just shut the hell up about ourselves, our self absorbed little selves, for just a minute, or maybe, a lifetime?
