I’m shocked! I had no idea that Catholics would support stuff like firing somebody for being gay, or denying them raises and promotions for being gay and stuff like that.

If you can’t support people’s legitimate rights being defended when the person happens to be gay, then you really are a homophobe. The church is showing they are against gay marriage, not gay people.

It’s a question of conscience and context. A Catholic pharmacist should not be forced to dispense morning-after abortion pills nor should a Catholic landlord be forced to rent to lesbians or to a father and daughter in an incestuous relationship. You cannot serve God and Mammon. You cannot serve two masters. You cannot provide aid, assistance, and comfort to promote an evil. The Catholic Catechism defines homosexual conduct as an “intrinsically disordered evil”
