They always want to be around kids. Always. Maybe the dark reality of their chosen lifestyle makes them yearn for a more innocent reality. Their only hope is to repent and turn away from their existing lifestyle.

Due to the moral and prudential risks involved, homosexuals should usually not be admitted to or maintained in the Catholic priesthood.

Glad we agree. Now explain to me why that writer of a harmless children's book should have been publicly shamed due to his sexual orientation?

You've conveniently ignored that question.........

As it was, these kids were too young to understand,

Understand exactly what? That a man who wrote a children's book about two dogs was actually a gay man?

Gosh, who would have put that thought into their head if it actually was during the reading? All they knew was they were being read a story about two dogs........

All the aftermath is crap.

Was this guy the only guest reader during National Reading Month? How did he know the priest was referring to him?

Maybe from this post?:

Notice the comment from the pastor:

To my knowledge, the book and any related conversation was appropriate for our students. A St. Joseph teacher was present in the room at all times.....

My guess is that the author was the flouncy and lisping type and chose to make an issue of being sixed. And except for his account, there is no reason to think that he was publicly embarrassed.

I read the post. It was meant to reassure parents that nothing bad came of this event. It was not insulting or hateful. In this time of “drag queen reading hours”, it was necessary.

It doesn’t identify the person, the date, or the book, or that the guest was the author of the book. During Reading Month there could have been many people who were invited to read to the kids. The author is the one who linked himself to and publicized the post that he claims humiliated and degraded him.

Drama. Queen.
