Best friends of the gαys: Catholics and men

Charles Blow over at the New York Times reminded me of something I totally forgot to write about last week. In his Saturday column, "Whatever, Dude," Blow writes about the new Gallup poll on American attitudes on ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity. They are improving in stunning and dramatic ways.

For the first time, a majority of Americans (52 percent) view gαy and lesbian relationships as morally acceptable. Men (53 percent) are more accepting than women (51 percent). Young men and women, ages 18 to 49, are especially okay with such relationships, 62 percent and 59 percent, respectively. Hence, "whatever, dude." But the statistic that jumped out at me was the view of Catholics.

While the Catholic Church fights any and all efforts to recognize gαy and lesbian relationships (the battle between the District and the archdiocese over same-sex marriage comes to mind), its flock is overwhelmingly supportive. In May 2006, just 46 percent thought those relationships were "morally acceptable." Four years later, a whopping 62 percent shared that view. That 16-point jump is 10 points greater than the jump among Protestants (6) and "other non-Christian (7). What's also interesting is that Catholics' growing acceptance of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ relationships is greater than that of Protestants. In May 2006, there was a 10-point gap (36 percent for Protestants and 46 percent for Catholics). Today, the gap is 20 percent.

So, the evolving views of Catholics and men are leading the way to greater acceptance of gαy and lesbian relationships. Wonders never cease.

    that and no real men left on the TV/movies-or hardly....esp not in younger actors....all meterosɛҳuąƖ acting  or queer....

    that poll likely taken amongst NO Catholics.....

    -Fr. Reuda warned us about this and almost everything in his book (1) is or has come true! Wonder how poll would go with Eastern Rite Catholics and esp, traditional groups (SSPX,etc)… Likely far, far lower….One ahs to wonder what the questions were and how the poll was conducted, worded…..

    They portray themselves that way in real life too, as harmless playful scamps.  Whenever I encounter a gαy trying to be cute and funny, I give him the Great Stone Face.  I am not very popular with them.

    Here is a Jєω playing a gαy -- Sean Penn as Harvey Milk --

    Jєω gαy

    So here we have a Jєω promoting ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, and he does it by portraying homos as sweet-natured teddy bears, cringing and wringing their hands, smiling earnestly.  Of course, this is exactly how Jєωs used to portray themselves to make themselves look harmless and sweet...

    That picture of Sean Penn is ridiculous.  He is maybe the most unlikeable guy on the planet, who is he trying to kid with the smiley-faced routine?  Oh, and check out the red "Number 6" button.
    Readers: Please IGNORE all my postings here. I was a recent convert and fell into errors, even heresy for which hopefully my ignorance excuses. These include rejecting the "rhythm method," rejecting the idea of "implicit faith," and being brieflfy quasi-Jansenist. I also posted occasions of sins and links to occasions of sin, not understanding the concept much at the time, so do not follow my links.

  •   I saw an article in which gαys were said to be praying to St. Anthony for a "good husband"!!!!!!!!!
      It seems that the traditional prayers used for centuries by maidens who desired good catholic men, are now used by gαys.
      How terrified St. Anthony (and other saints) must be to hear such things!

      Some even go so far as accusing our Lord of such a sin. Why? because He doesn't fullfil the world's standards of manliness existing at His time. (no sword, no harem, no sons)

    Why would this be a surprise?  Look at Mr. Neiderhaur in San Fransissyco who gives "communion" to sodomites in nuns clothing and Mr. Timothy Dolan in NY who allows a "gαy friendly" parrish to march in a sodomite pride parade (just so long as they didn't carry a banner with the Church's name on it).   If either of these men were true Bishops, they would have excommunicated all of them long ago and since they didn't,  if there were a true Pope, they would have been excommed themselves.
