A STATE APOLOGY TO GAY MEN? NO THANKS
There is no way to say sorry for dark days gay men endured Ireland before 1993 * it was gay why should i have to apologize *
But was gay!
DUTERTE ON LLG GOLDBERG GAY: WHY SHOULD I APOLOGIZE?
I want to beg by echog that I, too, am very sorry for the genue mistreatment of those dividuals who intify as lbian, gay, bisexual, or transgenr, pecially by those who claim to be followers of Christ. Do not be ceived: neher the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexualy, nor thiev, nor the greedy, nor dnkards, nor revilers, nor swdlers will her the kgdom of God. The practice of homosexual behavr is not at the top of Pl’s list.
I apologize for Christians who e terms like “straight Christian, ” “straight Church, ” and “gay Christian. ’” Th a Prottant iend, riffg on Pope Francis’s ment that Christians should apologize to homosexual people for the way Christians have treated iend is vexed by Francis. He was pecially annoyed bee, as he put later the nversatn, “I suppose I rent the suggtn that all Christians hate gays and have hurt gays, full stop.
POPE SAYS CHRISTIANS SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO GAY PEOPLE
”Seen on Facebook were starker rpons to Francis’s words, some of them perfectly unrstandable, to the effect that the wrer wasn’t gog to apologize to homosexual people bee they should apologize to him or to Christians general. It’s the work of to read:translatg the pope’s remarks on apologizg to gay munyAs Catholics we’re stuckBut.
That’s what J wants, and I thk that’s all Francis was sayg when he told to ask our homosexual iends’ (and several other groups’) fivens for not havg treated them as we, as Catholics, should have treated them. It’s what we ask of others, this radil unfortable ask our homosexual brethren, and our divorced brethren whout annulments, to ny themselv somethg almost everyone else n have: a marriage, two people formg a haven a heartls world, wh someone they actively sire, wh all the pleasur of romance that sexual sire brgs. When I read recently that the State plans to apologise to gay men who were nvicted of engagg same-sex sexual activy, my ial rponse was surprisgly one of anger.
Senator Ged Nash has mpaigned for the official apology to ci wh the 25th anniversary of crimalisatn of the homosexual act 1993. I was 27 and livg London when I heard about the Government’s cisn to crimalise gay men Ireland.
