Do y'all really have any idea how devastating it is for LGBT Democrats to see Cardinal Dolan

130. Dems, straight and gay, reject a LOT of Catholic teachings, as the Dem platform states.

Your claim that "the DNC keeps insulting gay people" is not "blunt." It is simply wrong. The DNC, President Obama, and everyone here at DU, supports the LGBT community. The President ended DADT, and is pushing for marriage equality. THAT's what working together with the Catholic voters to get Obama elected has gotten us.

That does not mean we let the Repukes claim to have the endorsement of the head of the American Catholic Church, when he speaks for millions of Catholics. As I said above, we need the latino vote. We need the Catholic vote. His presence at the RNC needs to be neutralized. He is just doing a closing prayer. He will not be debating marriage equality.

I totally agree that Dolan is a bigot who protects pedophile priests. But, unfortunately, he's also head of the American Catholic Church. He speaks for the church, and we can't ban the Catholic Church. Please, direct your hatred at Dolan/the Catholic Church, not the DNC or Obama.
