If gay and lesbian catholics are looking for authentic 'truth and compassion' instead of the shaming, condemnation and lies about homosexuality based on the pseudoscience and propaganda of the conservative religious fringe group narth, they would be better off going here:

dignity usa

"dignityusa envisions and works for a time when gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender catholics are affirmed and experience dignity through the integration of their spirituality with their sexuality, and as beloved persons of god participate fully in all aspects of life within the church and society"

Beleaguered National Organization for Marriage Hosts Yet Another Anti-LGBT Rally
The "March for Marriage" featured some of the most virulently anti-LGBT voices in an effort to convince the Supreme Court to rule against marriage equality in its deliberations this summer.
Sen. Ruben Diaz, Family Research Council Action Executive Director and reality star Josh Duggar, Janet Crouse of the World Congress of Families, radio host Mat Staver, and NOM President Brian Brown were among today's featured speakers, proudly standing on the wrong side of history.

NOM has a long history of giving voice to hate. In its fight against equality, the organization has used racially motivated tactics as strategy, committed numerous campaign ethics violations, and promoted speakers and pundits who accuse LGBT people of child endangerment and abuse and compare marriage equality to Hitler’s Third Reich.

Earlier this week, HRC, released an open letter addressed to His Holiness Pope Francis asking that Archbishop Viganò, the current Apostolic Nuncio, withdraw from his speaking role at the National Organization for Marriage (NOM)’s “Marriage for Marriage.”
“There is absolutely no room for an emissary of one of the world’s great religions at an event that will espouse hate and bigotry and promote outright discrimination against LGBT Americans and their families,” said HRC Vice President of Communications Fred Sainz. “Pope Francis has continually emphasized love and acceptance in his tenure, but this event stands for anything but.”

Great stuff, Ceist.

Thanks for putting up that link, Ceist. That's the crowd they drew? That's only a couple thousand people. I was expecting surging hordes. That's a huddle.

And, as is illustrated by their signs, a huddle of extremists.

Don't worry, NOM will perform a miracle of using tight camera angles and photoshop to grossly inflate the numbers on their anti-gay propaganda website.... like they were caught out doing before. A thousand or so will magically be 'rounded up' to the nearest 10,000!

It seems many of the people were bussed in from New York with the promise of a free tour of Washington DC. I guess that would be because of Senator Ruben Diaz. There certainly seemed to be a high number of Latinos and they used a spanish interpreter for the speeches (aka rants).

They will also try to hide the anti-gay signs that were rabidly hateful as well. Luckily pictures from the march got tweeted so they'll get caught out again.

Wow, I guess we really live in a messed up world if it's that number, but I don't think it is.
