Catholic support of LGBT is on the rise, this is evident in the polls. Gallup May 2010<br />poll shows that 62% believe homosexuality should be accepted by society this is<br />up a whopping 16% from for years ago. You can read more here: http://www.catholicsforequality.org/c4eblog/american-catholic-support-equality-rise<br /><br />If you look at the statistics for younger voters it is even more impressive. This tells me one thing in particular, the Catholic church is not in touch with mainstream catholic laity. The people sitting in the pews do not agree with the discrimination being spouted by church leaders. <br /><br />While the blogs, may mock us, US Catholics make up 25% of voters in the States, it only makes sense to engage, and educate the public on these issues. Catholics mission is to educate on the true principals of Jesus' compassion and love for ones family and neighbors. Gay and transgendered people are our neighbors and family and we know that they are as deserving of rights and our respect as any other person.<br /><br />Thanks for the well wishes!

I'm not Catholic / Christian, but I know many deeply-devoted religious people of all faiths who are equally devoted to human dignity and human rights. Often fueled by their faith, rather than antithetical to it. It's a shame that non-religious queer activists find the idea so laughable. <br /><br />Peace, <br />Annaannajcookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573723390785613915noreply@blogger.com
