I am a very religious Catholic. Yes, the Church's views on homosexuality are total bullshit. Still, just because the Church officially denounces homosexuality, that doesn't take away the beliefs that I firmly believe in. Also, the Catholic Church is a religion of love. At a leadership level it claims that homosexuality is wrong, but Catholic churches are generally one of the most open-minded Christian religions. I know that at my parish, my parents sought the counsel of my priest when they found out my sexuality and he couldn'ta been better. He basically said to never let anyone, even the Church, get in between you and God. I just find my religion to be perfect for me, and I totally respect other people's religions. I encourage anyone who is angry at religion because of how it treats the GLBT community to not count God out of their lives because some assholes in power of religion said that God hates you because you're a homo. We all know that isn't true, and I hope no one gets turned away from religion because that.
