Watch it. (the good part starts at about a minute and 25 seconds).
I seethe NOT because my son is gay. I seethe because he lives in a country in which some elected officials find it politically advantageous to deny him dignity, basic rights, and protections. I seethe because there are people who preach hatred and discrimination towards gays yet claim to be "good" and "loving" Christians. I seethe because there are groups who claim to be "advocates" for the family but who work to do great harm to any family that doesn’t fit their narrow template for “normal”.

The cold hard truth about the Catholic Church
For those who did not already catch this over at Pam's -I present to you a speech that outlines the ugly and destructive side of the Catholic Church so brutally and honestly that it made me squirm with both discomfort and relief. Stephen Fry nails it in a way that only someone who has felt the full force of this institution's hate and backward policies could. And I must confess that I may have enjoyed this clip a bit too much.
Watch it. (the good part starts at about a minute and 25 seconds).
