Help me tell my Gay BFF that I’m converting without her feeling betrayed

I have a question that I want to talk to my priest about, but since I can’t talk to him for a few days, I was hoping other people who have talked to priest my comment on this with some answers. I’m in the process of converting to Catholicism.

My best friend is a woman and she’s married to a woman who literally left Catholicism because she’s gay. So her wife has very mixed feelings on the church. I think she wishes she could still be part of it and feels rejected so there’s a lot of hurt there.

How am I supposed to tell my best friend that I’m converting to the religion that broke her wife’s heart? How can I explain it when she thinks the faith is against the very person she is (her perception). I don’t want to get into all of that theology because 1) I’m not an expert and 2) at the end of the day I don’t understand why it’s a sin. Ive confessed this but yeah, I don’t understand why sex has to be open to life. I’ve just decided that that’s one of the things I’m not going to understand while I’m on earth. I pray about it a lot.

It’s like they almost get it…

Redeemed Zoomer Sub (for Protestants) questioning if it’s okay to add to the bible. They’re SO close to uncovering the cognitive dissonance it takes to realize ML was wrong.

(Former Protestant, convert, this sounds like my thoughts before I learned church history haha)
