I don't understand. On another thread you claimed to be Catholic (though I find it odd, for example, that you wrote God as G_d; I've never seen a Catholic do that before). If you are a Catholic, you must surely be aware that the Church considers homosexual acts to be grievously sinful. Why, then would a Catholic consider asking homosexuals to 'renounce their scandalous lifestyles' to be persecution, when the Church, in effect, does exactly that?
They say that on the internet no one knows you're a dog. You wouldn't, perhaps, be misrepresenting who you are, just a teeny weeny little bit, would you?
