I'm not a catholic, so am probably not the best guy to ask. But I would hope that a non-practicing & repentant homosexuals would still be as welcome as anyone in the priesthood.

I'm not Catholic either, but that was what I would have thought. However, I am not getting that impression from a lot of people here - that's why I asked... A non-practicing repentant homosexual is still a homosexual, right?

Yes. Theoretically, some would argue that prayer and God's intervention might lift such an affliction. I'll take a guess that some Catholic clergymen have thought this. There seem to be some people who have such an inordinate and compulsive tendency toward sexual deviancy that they appear to be beyond ascetic continence.
