GAY ACTIVIST EQUATES POPE WITH OSAMA BIN LADEN

“Flash! This just in: All the while that Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban has been protecting Osama bin Laden, Italy has been harboring another omnipotent religious zealot, one who equally condemns us Western sinners and incites violence with his incendiary rhetoric.” That is how Michelangelo Signorile begins his article, “The Gay-Bashing Pope,” in the November 21-27 edition of the alternative weekly newspaper, the New York Press.

The pope, according to Signorile, is guilty of “inspiring thugs across the globe who commit hate crimes against homosexuals, a form of terrorism if ever there were one.” The writer, who is the father of “outing” (the practice of making public a gay man’s sexual preference), is upset with the Church’s teaching that holds homosexuality to be “intrinsically disordered.”

Catholic League president William Donohue had this to say about the article:

“We’re disappointed with Mich: we never thought that anyone who has had as much practice as he has in turning the other cheek would ever write such an intrinsically disordered article.”

The pope is ordering hate crimes against homosexuals?

BTW, what does Donohue mean by "turning the other cheek"?

Funny, I don't remember the Pope ordering planes to crash into San Francisco.

The Pope and faithful Catholics should rejoice that the Pope is being slandered and attacked in this fashion. An enraged adversary is working overtime to attack good and truth wherever he hears it being affirmed.

As if the Pope had to be contrite and repent about terrorism like Osama needs. Just to tell you how some gays out there are like Osama, demanding others to repent for things they have not done, never repenting of their obsene perversions of sexual preferences akin to Nazi skin color preferences.

Gay love means hate of the ungay. Nazi love means hate of the un-aryan.

Online biographical information indicates that Signorile was raised in a devout Catholic family. Evidently what bothers him about the Church is that it said NO to his adolescent desires. Quite a leap from there to equating the pope with bin Laden.

"Next, Pope equates gay activists with Osama bin laden... "

That would be a stretch, but decidedly more accurate.

It seems to me that this jerk has a beef with God, not the Pope following Gods word. Hey Gays out there, gotta complaint about homosexuallity being an abomination in the eyes of God, then take your bitching to God!

"... incites violence with his incendiary rhetoric."

Examples?

The pope, according to Signorile, is guilty of “inspiring thugs across the globe who commit hate crimes against homosexuals

How?

The writer ... is upset with the Church’s teaching that holds homosexuality to be “intrinsically disordered.”

Those may be the Church's words. I believe God's words were "an abomination."

Not for a whiny, self-centered child.

Gay love means hate of the ungay.

Typically, "gay love" means intense hate of the gay as well. The serial anonymous partner, septic sexual practices that are associated with the lifestyle spread the curses of AIDS, hepatitis, and anal gonorrhea from lover to lover.

It isn't love, but a mutual suicide pact--a kind of Russian roulette where three of the chambers have bullets in them.

And when the Pope warns the members of the suicide pact of the horrific consequences of their pact both short-term and long-term, they spew their bile at him, curse him, and accuse him of being a terrorist.
