The number of gays in the church and its hierarchy is routinely put at 50 percent. Based purely on anecdotal evidence (which nonetheless has some validity under the circumstances), some priests and theologians I have spoken with estimate that the figure is higher, somewhere closer to 70 percent. it stand to reason no matter what the figure that there are gay men at the top of that hierarchy, and they control access on some of these issues.

I hate to propose an answer this simple, but the self-hatred of these gays at the top helps to further the system we see. If you learn to hate yourself, and you rise to a position of power in an organization that at best helps to further your self-despisal, then it's not surprising that we see a system that perpetuates these restrictions. It's the acting out of hatred, especially for one's own self, and the way that hatred gets acted out is to foment hatred and hate-filled restriction on everyone in your control. These people are deserving of nothing more nor less than our pity. How much they have to despise themselves to incite such a program...!
