2) You do not get to decide someone else’s intentions. They do.

3) Being offended is a choice you make. Nobody is responsible for that choice but you.

4) Even if the slight was intended and deliberate, functioning adults understand that they must move on and not dwell over every sideways glance or rude comment.

5) You have to stop doing the trendy internet thing where you write something on a piece of paper and take a picture of yourself holding it up while frowning. It’s just annoying at this point.

oh And your reading comprehension.

Well, damn. I'd become rather fond of this pope.

In fairness to him, the refusal likely stems far more from institutional concern over appearances than personal antipathy from Francis.

Good to see that not only does he write his own rules, but he hasnt got a clue wtf they mean. [;)] Anyhow he lost my vote when he came up with the notion he was a functioning adult.

Anyone fancy debating another case of homophobic religious bigots in action ? This time it is the Vatican.

Nonviolence is the answer
to the crucial political and moral questions of our time:
the need for man to overcome oppression and violence
without resorting to oppression and violence.
Man must evolve for all human conflict
a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation.
The foundation of such a method is love.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech,
Stockholm, Sweden, December 11, 1964

It's certainly touching how the $20 lady has suddenly become the Voice of Truth.

Pity there wasn't similar interest in the LGBT perspective on what it might be like to be told, "We're sorry we can't cater your wedding, but your effort to solemnize the love of your life is morally repugnant to me." Or even about whether we experience our orientation as a "lifestyle choice."

You mean the post attacking "the $20 dyke" for straying off the reservation?

Oh, I don't know...I'd say their perspective was heard above all else...at least from a group standing. Of course, it was just one gay lady who offered $ 20.00 and her friends who were appalled at the hate and intolerance shown by some of the protestors. Right?

While not a "gay lifestyle," I have gotten the shock, horror, OMG! that is horrid!, and so forth about being poly and actually expressing my desire for a poly family. I will say that it has never been as bad as the outrage and lecturing I have received from vegans about my desire to raise chickens and rabbits as food animals, not pets.

I have had many more "that is morally repugnant" comments and reactions to animals as food than I have to, "Ya know, it is gonna be weeks before I can have sex again, my companion really needs to find a girlfriend."

My point being that someone declaring your lifestyle morally repugnant seems to vary from person to person. I really do not give it much credence.
