WASHINGTON, DC, August 23, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A consultant for the USCCB’s Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, which oversees the controversial Catholic Campaign for Human Development, has been a public supporter of pro-ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ legislation that was actively opposed by the country’s bishops, LifeSiteNews has recently learned.
John Sweeney, President Emeritus of the AFL-CIO, and a former five-term President of the trade federation, revealed his pro-ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ position in a 2001 essay titled, “The Growing Alliance Between gαy and Union Activists.”
Sweeney wrote of his support for a 1983 AFL-CIO resolution condemning discrimination on the basis of sɛҳuąƖ orientation.
“At the time, I was president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), which had sponsored the resolution. I rose to speak in favor of it,” he wrote. “And I am proud to say that the labor movement has since made many advances in the fight for gαy and lesbian rights.”

Actually, he is tied to two ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ lobbies, the USCCB being the second.

Thank you for a good laugh. When I saw the title of the thread, I thought, "Gee, just ties?"
