And exactly why shouldn’t they support organizations that want to stop gay marriage? EVERY OTHER CORPORATION that has weighed in on the issue gives its profits to weirdo organizations dedicated to shoving it down our throats. No outcry. No nothing.

The people who do the most good in fighting gay marriage are church groups, family advocates, pro-lifers, Christians, and so forth.

The Catholic position is that we should love everyone, and want what’s good for them. That means that you need to love and sympathize with those who are gay—but not gay activities. Hate the sin, but love the sinner. Since gay marriage is not good for gays any more than anyone else, and since it undermines true marriage, family and children, it should be opposed.

But I think it’s perfectly reasonable to say that they are not focused specifically on opposing gay marriage. Their interests are more broadly Christian. In fact, I presume that their leaders continue to oppose it, but their emphasis is on what is good for marriage, family, children—and also for those with gay inclinations.

The opposition is trying to paint them as gay haters. Of course, they deny that, and rightly so.
