The Catholic Church teaches against persecution of gay people. From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

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. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition

There's also a biblically established protocol for dealing with sinners established by one 'Jesus' in the New Testament. (It starts with a baseline of having a nice civilized dinner with them even if people gossip about it, and continues all the way to laying down your life for their protection if it ever should come to that.)

But just discrimination, like trying to stop them marrying someone they love, even in a purely civil ceremony which objectively speaking is none of our damn business -- why, that's just dandy.
