For nearly 2000 years the church has been lying and discriminating against homosexuals. It's a fundamentally bigoted organization from its earliest years. While I am glad at the number of Catholics who reject the more discriminatory teachings of their religion these days, I'm not sure I understand any moral justification of continuing to give the church their time and money.
