The Gay Mafia has been in the Catholic Church since the 60’s.
I just remembered...
One of the biggest and nastiest gay pickup parks (Loring Park) in Minneapolis was about 100 ft from St Marks Cathedral and St Mary’s Basilica.
They don't fear God. I guess every decent-size city has a "gay park," and mine is no exception. It was a park along a creek bed below a hill where a large, Gothic-style Presbyterian church stood. Everyone knew it as "fag park." In a saner age, police would work undercover to arrest nuisance propositioning offenders. I think policing is banned in that regard now.
