That's about all I can say about the new 'outreach' by this church...

From Merriam-Webster's Dictionary

Compassion:

: sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it.

Firstly, being gay is not a state of distress, and I don't need anyone to alleviate it.
I don't want or need anyone's compassion for being gay, frankly it's about the most
incredibly insulting way there is to pronounce judgement on someone as being a defective
human being from behind a smokescreen of feigned concern.

In a word, pathetic.
