Quote of the Day

Catholics continue to be the key supporters of marriage equality in the United States and are driving the positive direction for LGBT human rights. This new survey by the Pew Forum is a very detailed report of the latest public opinion polling on attitudes toward LGBT people. With these numbers it is little wonder that the Vatican is taking a hardline against LGBT human rights and appointing fundamentalist bishops like Archbishop-elect Cordileone in San Francisco.
