That's a fair statement. It's true. Homosexual relations is a grave or sin than fornication, but fornication by two people who are cohabitating out of wedlock, is certainly grounds for a priest, who decides, to refuse communion if it's public or if he knows.

I made my comment because I perceive that we hold hetersexual couples to a different standard, much to their detriment.
