Cardinal George compares GLN to KKK. Silly George, the KKK also used religion to deflect charges of bigotry. Here’s our response:
“In comparing LGBT rights advocates to the KKK, the Cardinal shows that he is not an honest man of faith trying to better the world, but rather, a mendacious one trying to deflect criticism of church policies that promote discrimination.
“It is ironic that George chooses to mention the KKK, as they are but one of the most extreme examples of organizations which have used religion to shield themselves from criticism of their hateful policies. While an overwhelming majority of lay Catholics support equality for women and LGBTs, the Catholic leadership has a history and present practice of discrimination which they apparently will go to quite extreme lengths to defend.
