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.
