(45,319 posts)This man the OP venerates is a warrior against my rights, rights for my family and community, he is opposed to birth control as well as to abortion rights, in fact he is opposed to many aspects of the Democratic Party Platform, and instead champions the Republican point of view.
When I see folks promoting a bigoted preacher, I assume they agree with the hate speech, the ugly characterizations of LGBT people, with the opposition to birth control and to condoms for AIDS prevention. In short, I assume they hold tight to Republican policy goals, and that they are extremely prejudiced against people like me. Their actions indicate that all of this is true of them, and I don't give a shit what they claim to 'believe' because anyone who would cheer for a bigot is not an honest person, but a person who cheers for a bigot who lies and libels others.
The Pope's ignorant superstitions about gay people and his years of political activism opposing us and slandering us will not be forgotten, this creep Frank would have to do years of penance and making amends to make up for the horrors he has poured onto the heads of innocents.
