Club Church is one of the most popular gay cise clubs Amsterdam.

OP-ED: THE GAY RIGHTS MOVEMENT, GAY BARS, AND THE CHURCH

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. On Fridays I sipped beer wh married gay and lbian lleagu who uld never tell our stunts about their partners or why they wore a weddg rg. I watched other gay Jus teach and serve wh great affectn and love but longed to be eed om the bondage of a self-imposed prison.

I refe to s back and watch untls LGBTQ Christians be fired om jobs or have to travel upon to attend "gay-iendly" parish where gays and lbians n safely stand the munn le. 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. 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.

CHURCH A GAY BAR

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.

The universal implementatn of this antigay theology across ntents is damagg to lns. Countri like Uganda and Rsia still imprison gay won't an archbishop like Charl Chaput of Philalphia regnize a gay uple at the center of a hate crime his dce? How long will be before our married gay iends n work openly the Archdce of New York?

IS YOUR CHURCH AS FRIENDLY AS A GAY BAR?

Why don't relig orrs like the Jus and her gay prits publicly cry discrimatn agast sexualy, genr, or same-sex marriage? He's tellg the world what he believ, most recently the Philipp, where he strongly opposed gay marriage and the adoptn of children by same-sex upl. This is the very pope who told his flock not to have sex like bunny rabbs but who did not ve them to e next time you see a gay or straight person procs toward munn, ask yourself, "Is this church the church where I am lled to serve and worship?

" And the next time you see your gay prit at the lol gay bar, ask him about his own tratn wh celibacy or his ternal homophobia and why he won't marry gay or lbian upl at next Sunday's answers to the qutns won't surprise you, but hopefully they will enkdle you toward nonvlent actn on behalf of the LGBTQ muny. | Getty ImagThe four ndidat for bishop of an Epispal Church dce that recently garnered headl for refg to bls same-sex marriag have dited that they will allow the Epispal Dce of Albany has been whout a bishop sce the rignatn 2021 of William Love, who had issued an open letter 2020 refg to enforce a nomatnal le requirg all dc to allow for the blsg of gay marriag.
