So do MILLIONS of people raised by straight, opposite-sex parents. C-D is full of them.
So you are saying we can dismiss this woman's feelings because others had it harder? If that is true than we need to dismiss everyone's feelings because we can find others who had it harder. Intolerance if a funny thing. We can pick and choose what it is.

Nope. She has feelings like every other human being on the planet.
But, in this country, we don't base marriage laws on feelings. We have a Constitution. The SCOTUS will rely on the Constitution when making their decision. If a group of Catholics and fundamentalists want to use the First Amendment and march through Washington D.C. ... let 'em walk. I'm a huge fan of the First Amendment. I've marched through D.C. myself.
Well you know what they say-----"we can't control how our kids will turn out" That use to be said for people who grew up to be gay now it's for people who grow up to be fundamentalists. LOL Tolerance and hypocrisy is a funny thing.
Given the long history of misogyny and subjugation of women in the Catholic Church, yes, it's fascinating.
I'm a woman in the Catholic Church and I don't feel like a victim, in fact I feel just fine. Only thing fasinating is how some would feel that way when they are following how God made us. Luckily it's only a small minority that feels that way.

So you are saying that you just dismiss the feelings of countless hundreds of millions of other adults with heterosexual parents who would have liked a 'different childhood' just because they don't suit your intolerant prejudiced agenda of targeting gay and lesbian people for condemnation?

Courage International? The Catholic version of Exodus International? Which closed down after it's president Alan Chambers apologised for all the harm the organisation had done to gay and lesbian Christians?
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:
"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"
