Equality of marriage and love

Fair point.

Smacl, happy to have the discussion you are suggesting, but should we take it to a different thread?

Just remember this any time you hear the 'hate the sin but not the sinner'[*] claptrap, or 'Pope Francis has said that he loves homosexual people'

St Andrew’s Church on Westland Row in Dublin has cancelled a concert by the Dublin Gay Men’s Chorus on the grounds it believes the recital was to be “a Pride Festival event”, which it said “is not compatible with our mission”.

Mr McNamara said the booking was made “under the name of Dublin Gay Men’s Chorus”, and added the group had “no reason to suspect they were not aware of who was making the booking”.

He said the choir was “deeply disappointed” by the decision, which he described as “deeply hurtful”.

“June is Pride month across the world and the celebration of having pride in one’s self and community should be permitted,” he said. “While we made it clear this event is not associated with the official Dublin Pride festival once St Andrew’s made its concerns known, the church was unwilling to change its position.

[*] Yes I know it's a sick-making phrase but some RCCers think saying "I think you're a sinner but I don't hate you (much)" is a progressive move on their part
