Gay Activist Want Obama Admin. to Declare Catholic Church "A Hate Group"





A gay rights activist posted a petition asking the Obama administration to declare the Catholic Church “a hate group.”  Considering how other Christians are being persecuted by the Department of Justice, they might just have a chance.

Initiated on Christmas Day, a petition on the White House website had collected 1,640 signatures by Jan. 3.

The petition – which is aiming for 25,000 signatures by Jan. 24 – argued that Pope Benedict XVI’s 2012 Christmas address to the College of Cardinals “demeaned and belittled homosexual people around the world.”

“Using hateful language and discriminatory remarks, the Pope painted a portrait in which gay people are second-class global citizens,” it charged.

“Pope Benedict said that gay people starting families are threatening to society, and that gay parents objectify and take away the dignity of children,” the petition said. “The Pope also implied that gay families are sub-human, as they are not dignified in the eyes of God.”

It called for the Obama administration to recognize the Catholic Church as a hate group, as defined by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League.

Gays are “second-class global citizens”?  Maybe these people should petition the United Nations.  I believe they’re asking for justice from the wrong governmental body.

 The thinking of these progressives is astonishing.  You can be sure I’ll never consider myself a “global citizen.”  I’m a North Carolinian first, an American citizen second.  And the United Nations can kiss my ass.
