Is it still okay to call him out on that, are you alone in your church, is it acceptable for lay persons to question the church, or is the Pope the keeper of the keys, can't argue with him?
Totally not going to use it to turn around and be like AHA, I'm genuinely very curious about it, my mom's Catholic but I can't ask her this kind of stuff.

As you pointed out before religon is a method of keeping people level headed and peaceful without becoming outraged. As far as I know, the public viewpoint is being gay is not okay according to the Old Testament; however, Christians follow Christ's teachings or abridgement of the Old Testament stating is is better to be kind and unstanding to all people. Therefore, you can be gay and go to church, but don't make a big scene about it.
