From the catechism (2358):

The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial.

So the orientation, or tendency as the Church puts it, is considered objectively disordered. That is why the Church put out the instruction reaffirming the ban on homosexual seminarians, chaste or not.

Of course it is.

No they didn't. Or rather... not in the way you're implying it.
