FAITH IS NO EXCUSE FOR BIGOTRY

I saw this and it's just unbelievably terrible.

What's more, the Catholic Church has just issued a statement that there's a "link between homosexuality and pedophilia." I wonder where they got that study. It must have been done by priests, because the accepted scientific literature and studies say otherwise. I'm appalled almost as much (well, not really) by the cover ups and refusal to take responsibility as I am with the molestation itself. Of course, from my own perspective, what do I expect from the "Holy Church of Persecution and torment?"

I love Ellen. The world needs more of her.

And I agree wholeheartedly with Iris. I can't think of a single entity that has created more fear, pain, and suffering--both physical and spiritual--for the human race than the Catholic Church.

..forget "God bless America " more like God save us from the extremist far right, and ANYONE who preaches love and yet openly or by "nudge nudge" encourages hatred and worse.It's about time that every single person who believes that the xtremists are just wrong ( and hopefully in the minority) stood up to be counted.
I just feel sick to my stomach that being gay (and created in "His" image no less)is continually being used as an excuse to perpetrate the most evil, cowardly and heinous crimes.

What kind of childhood influences must have been taught to Brandon (the murderer). When is the human race going to realize that we diminish ourselves by these unconscionable acts? We all are graced with a soul, and not one is purer than the other, no matter the surface differences.
