Hasn't the Roman Catholic priesthood sometimes been used as a sort of refuge for gays on a level higher than that of the Protestant clergy?

In the news we read of the uncovering of certain sexual abuses carried out by priests of the Roman Catholic Church. These abuses are those that have, to date, come to light. One can be sure there are abuses that never get revealed. Sexual abuse, just as other kinds of abuse, is nothing new under the sun. All types of abuse occur in all areas of society. Males and females alike get abused--some "willingly", of course, and others unwillingly. What is my premise? My premise is that a specific number of gays seek "refuge" or camouflage in the Catholic priesthood due to its traditional adherence to celibacy and its restrictions against marrying priests. Some gays know before ordination that their lives will undergo less societal scrutiny than will the lives of their Protestant counterparts.
What do I mean exactly? I mean that an unmarried forty-year-old pastor or minister serving in a Protestant denomination or sect will provoke endless curiosity as to the reason(s) for his/her unmarried status. As such, her or his "cover" is thinner if she or he is gay. When she/he isn't a gay pastor, it is often assumed she/he is off having a sexual affair somewhere--sometimes a correct assumption.
Not so with the gay Catholic priest. In his unmarried state, even when he is happily so(since he is gay), he is practically "normal" or at least viewed as such by others. It is likely that he is more accepted socially than his Protestant counterpart, who must constantly "fend off" the nosey members of his flock as if they were demons(Sometimes they are.).
So, if the Catholic Church would allow its priests to marry as does the wheezing Church of England(wheezing due to bored attendees as in any country with an "official" church--lack of competition), it is quite certain that sexual abuse would undergo a significant reduction. And although everyone knows there is never any guarantee where life or any of its issues is concerned, a reduction is, one presumes, just what the doctor ordered--just what is needed at present and also in the foreseeable future.
Again, this decrease would occur because the "cover" would be somewhat shattered, resulting in a reduced degree of attraction felt by some gays for the Catholic priesthood.
In any event, Catholic or Protestant clergy who commit or participate in(by omission) sexual abuse must be removed immediately and/or prevented from holding any position in which innocent brothers could be subjected to negative or sinful sexual practices. Additionally, no position in the churches should be a refuge for unresolved personal conflicts or overwhelming temptations, but a position in which its holder is there to serve with joy; to give and receive love as is Christ's desire.
