A Catholic church in Lexington is making a statement that's getting attention. St. Paul Catholic Church on W. Short Street put up a banner letting members and supporters of the LGBTQ community know they are welcome at their church.
"This is a church that's open to all people and hopefully, this sign gets that across," said Stan "JR" Zerkowski, facilitator of Catholic LGBT ministry.
The sign reads, "LGBTQ+ Catholic - Family, Friends & Allies - All Are Welcome." The banner has been up for weeks and will continue to stay up through Lexington's Pride Festival.

What rational family with young children would attend that Church?
“Catholic church in Lexington hangs banner welcoming LGBTQ community (KY)”
Hang yourself.
I guess they missed that section in the bible about God burning to death two cities full of them.
The intrinsically disordered need the hospital for sinners like the rest of us.
They should also have signs welcoming adulterers, thieves, murderers, those who bear false witness, and those who vote for democrats - equally embracing all types of evil.
[Note: Churches really should welcome all of those groups, even democrats, but with an injunction to repent and reform, not with a celebration of their flaws and errors.]
Amen
I’d be more accepting of that banner if it also said “Hate the sin. Love the sinner”. But unfortunately it looks like this church is OK with both the sin and the sinner.
But if they're being told that "your love is beautiful" then I'm writing to the local bishop *and* finding another parish.
I think they just did.
Did God say that homosexual behavior was no longer an abomination?
Mmmm, guess I missed that one.
The Beast walks upon this earth.
Quite so — the devil is in the details, though to be fair this is one of the more screamingly “liberal” cities today. I could more imagine a sign saying something like “Is your love life disappointing you? See the Expert.”
From the sign one can’t know if the church is saying so either.
Agreed.
All these Lexingtons suck. I can only imagine Massachusetts.
The “gay” of today isn’t necessarily the same as the hard case of yesteryear. He has arisen, and become misshapen, in the midst of a society where almost no touch of Christ can be seen.
A building essentially labeled “a place where well nigh perfect people may come, but everybody else get away” isn’t going to reach where it needs to go.

The church’s website doesn’t admit to having such a ministry: https://saintpaul.cdlex.org/ministries
