I Knew Pope Francis Was Good, But

[Laughing Mirror]

91. A stand for more and more anti-gay craziness, you mean

Do make it a point to always read the fine print.

‘The targeting of the sinner, not the sin, is the core flaw of the proposed Bill. The introduction of the death penalty and imprisonment for homosexual acts targets people rather than seeking to counsel and to reach out in compassion to those who need conversion, repentance, support, and hope.’

Please explain how conversion and repentance of LGBT people under the support, hope and counsel of the Catholic church is taking a stand in favor of LGBT people. It sounds like more misery to me.

How about these goddamn churches, Catholic and Anglican and Evangelical alike, just leave us the fuck alone. We want to live our lives without interference from them. We do not believe we are sinners, no matter what these churches try to hallucinate about us.

We don't want to convert to your awful superstitions about us. We don't need any repentance. We want you to stop persecuting us.

So Pope, you can keep your blessed support and hope. We know what it really is. We know what you really think of us. Because it's all there in the fine print and the way you actually treat us.
