A celibate homosexual is someone who is gay (homosexual), but, often for religious reasons, lives a celibate life. For many gay people who are also practicing Catholics, the guilt of being homosexual (often perceiving themselves as sinners, even if the Church doesn't hold this view) leads those who wish to become priests to still identify as homosexual, albeit closeted, often to preserve the Church's image.
