Roman Catholics and anti-gay Republicans (politicians, elections, elect, vote)

[VTHokieFan]

We always here about the bishops encouraging and coaxing Roman Catholics from pro-choice (usually) Democrat politicians in elections. One question that isn't brought up; however, is should Catholics stay away from blatently anti-gay Republicans. This is what the catechism says about treatment of homosexuals:

2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

So if Catholics aren't to vote for pro-choice Democrats, should anti-gay Republicans get the same "warning label" from the Church?

living your life through "interpretation" makes you a fool.

I can't decide whether to agree or disagree with your interpretation.

Help me out, which comes first, the interpretation or the fool?
