Mayor Nutter Attempts to Hijack Papal Appearance to Tout LGBT Rights
The National Catholic Register ^ | 9/26/15 | Matthew Archbold

Posted on 09/27/2015 10:30:33 AM PDT by marshmallow

In a disturbing turn of events, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, a graduate of a Jesuit high school, reportedly used the appearance of Pope Francis in Philadelphia to push the gay agenda.

Nutter had previously promised to ask the pope to "end judgment" of LGBT people by the church and then today, the mayor used his public appearance before hundreds of thousands of Catholics who gathered to see the pope to do just that.

Speaking at Independence Hall before the pope, the mayor said "In America, everyone has rights...Our lesbian, gay and bisexual citizens continue to fight for equality."

"Keep fighting for your rights," he added. "It's a collective fight. And there are many others fighting with you."

Homosexuals have rights. They just want to bring their bed and private parts out onto the streets.

They don’t want “rights,” they want preferences...

Well, remember when the Pope said, “who am I to judge”, when talking about gay people sincerely seeking God????

Liberals have used that opening to think that this Pope is gay friendly, even though church doctrine is still that marriage is only 1 man and 1 woman.

I would like to ask Nutter what rights the homosexual community is fighting for? Now that we have nationwide homosexual marriage, a major battle is done. What’s next?

Affirmative action for homosexuals? Requiring health insurers to pay for sex change operations?? What rights exactly do the rest of us have, that are denied homosexuals due to their being homosexual????

Dang- why didn’t Nutter just offer to accompany the pope to the Folsom Street Fair in San Fran ? Maybe he could do an open air Mass, invite Pelosi along
