Why do Catholics hate Gays?

Hate comes in many forms. There is the outright bigotry of Prop 8, and then there is the subtle effort to create or maintain a hostile environment. In this case, the Catholic Church opposes a United Nations plan to introduce protection for gays facing the death penalty in countries charges where homosexuality is illegal. Their reason, it might hurt traditional marriage. I'm not kidding...

This week the Vatican's permanent observer to the United Nations, said the Holy See would oppose a resolution that would protect gays from being killed, just because they are gay because it would "add new categories of those protected from discrimination" and could lead to reverse discrimination against traditional heterosexual marriage.

I don’t get it. Why would anyone buy into this crap. It’s hate rapped in a shroud of saccharine love.

Are there any studies that show the percentage of Catholic clergy that are gay? That would be interesting to see.

1% of the clergy. 10% in all other faiths/ministers.

Hello to all out there who care. I'm not Gay, but I have friends and even i or 2 relatives who are Gay. And folks, there's one very simple & legal way to bring down the F--king Pedophile infested Katholickass Church. Stop sending them your money! With almost 5 Billion dollars in payments being made already, for convictions on child-molestation charges, the F--king church is nearing collapse,. And, now it is starting to have to sell some of their vast holdings in property. to pay the damages. Get smart people, by continuing to give your money to the church, you are actually paying for your priests to keep molesting your very own young boys and girls. The Church has been an ENEMY of the Human race for 2,000 years!!! It's time to put it DOWN! The only thing the church cares about is keeping itself growing..... Hence No Abortion, No Birth Control, and No sex education....... And continued huge donations from an ever growing Flock of Sheep!
