Is this what your church teaches you?

No it doesn't. It teaches me to love all men and do good to those who attempt to do me ill.

But I'm not a perfect human being. I'm a sinner. A real big one. I fall short of the ideal which my Church holds before me. And when I see people attempting to manipulate the Church for their own selfish ends, I get angry.

Let's be clear here shall we? All this talk about human rights, equality and hating homosexuals is just smoke. A red herring. The Rainbow Sash people want something very simple. They want the Catholic Church to change its teaching that sodomy is a serious sin. Period.

Anyone who stands up for the Church's teaching must therefore "hate" homosexuals and be some sort of Nazi. Thus we get the petulant response of the "I must have it my way" crowd; the disruption of Catholic Mass.

It's nice to know that you never get angry when something which you hold dear is attacked. Perfection must be a nice thing. The alternative explanation is that your convictions run so shallow that you feel no emotion when they are challenged and trashed and that would be a rather sad state of affairs.

Then, it seems to me, since you see yourself as a "real big sinner" that you are not in a position to throw stones. Wouldn't you be more effective if you dealt with your own sins first, sort of got the beam out of your own eye, before attacking and condeming others?
