Gay Catholics to mark offered money

[kweerwolf]

Minnesota churches will soon see a sign of protest in collection plates.

Gay Catholics and their supporters plan to mark their donations to send a message to let the church know who exactly is giving them their money. Cash donations will be marked with a pink triangle around the pyramid on the back, while checks will have a notation in the memo field.

“If you want our money, then support us,” says parishioner Tom Degree. “They need to know how much they are receiving from GLBT congregants.”

Degree and others are concerned about several positions the Catholic church has taken recently, such as banning gay priests.

1. WOW, what a GOOD IDEA--and not just for gays, either

When the church screws with politics, we are all wearing the pink triangle...

I am no longer a churchgoer, but I'm gonna suggest to all my churchgoing pals that they do the same, in solidarity!

2. But........

Banning gay priests will not solve the problem of pedophilia in the catholic church, and that is the real story.

3. they should withhold donations all together

why are they supporting an intrinsically homophobic institution in the first place?
