Reilly said the church is firmly against gay marriage and civil unions, but believes that the state should provide gay couples with certain economic and social benefits...
Did you conveniently overlook the word "economic" is the article? Doesn't "economic" mean financial, i.e. nickels?
I think it's really weird that you always pop up and side with homosexuals.
If siding with the Catholic Church is "siding" with homosexuals, then I plead guilty.
