Club Church is one of the most popular gay cise clubs Amsterdam. I knew that there were about as many straight prits and semarians as there were gay prits and semarians. I knew that most Jus were gay and that many younger Jus are nfound by Pope Francis's liberalism, notwhstandg their personal rage at ternal church polics.

Today I realize somethg new about my parture om relig life: I left the Catholic Church as an openly gay Ju semarian bee I uld not publicly support or mister to the LGBTQ muny. As a rult I went to a ep prsn and felt my silence and pa, I watched as gay stunts at the Ju prep school I worked at uld not form a gay-straight alliance.

I refe to s back when gay prits and semarians equent gay bars or employ gay datg apps while their parishners pray for their church to wele them to the sacrament of marriage. It is not fair that some gay prits n serve as prints of high schools or universi, n clics or be llege profsors, while nearly 200, 000 homels LGBTQ youth live liv tranged om their Barack Obama was elected print, many naively said, "We no longer need the Ain-Amerin civil rights movement. The same mt be said about the gay liberatn movement!

Gay marriage me about bee of the ee market, not bee is jt or right.

CHURCH A GAY BAR

Louis, Kansas Cy, Ccnati, men and women are beg fired om jobs the Catholic Church bee they are married to a person of the same genr or bee they support the civil rights of gays and lbians to adopt children. When they are fired, they are unemployed and are brought closer to a therapist I work wh many adolcent boys who are bullied, lled "gay" or "faggot" while their school do nothg about . The boys hate gog to school, a place where they should be safe and allowed to explore their sexualy and human Catholic Church teach her billns of members that same-sex love is trsilly disorred, that same-sex love is a mortal s, and that the only way to be appropriately homosexual is through chasty and the sgle life.

IS YOUR CHURCH AS FRIENDLY AS A GAY BAR?

The universal implementatn of this antigay theology across ntents is damagg to lns.
