Haven’t homosexuals been allowed to disrupt Mass in New York City and elsewhere?

[Mrs. Don-o]

I assisted at Mass at St. Patrick's in NYC on a weekday in May 1988 and saw the homosexual activists aggressively harassing the worshipers on the sidewalks outside, while the cops stood by. The only people they ordered to "disperse" were the Catholics standing on the steps, who were afraid to run the gauntlet through the ranks of howling gay demonstrators. I was told they did this regularly.

They had an "official" Act-UP day of aggression in Dec 1989 in which 4,000+ demonstratd outside, chanting, banging on drums and pelting worshippers entering the church with condoms; while 100 did the same inside; some desecrated hosts. There were arrests. Nobody went to jail. I don't know much more about it than that.
