The Pope Takes a Swing at LGBT’s Again

That’s right, the Pope is at it yet again, with his third strike against gays in just weeks.  This time it was at a

pro-family rally in Madrid, Spain this past Sunday.  Spain is one of the few countries which has legalized same-sex marriage.

The pope spoke in front of hundreds of thousands of people who were attending a Mass aimed at reversing the country’s three-year-old gay marriage law. He insisted that Christian families need to “remain strong”.

He stated in his address:

“Dear families, do not let love, openness to life and the incomparable links that join your homes weaken. The pope is by your side.”

Antonio Maria Rouco Varela, the archbishop of Madrid, added:

“The future of humanity depends on the family, the Christian family.”

Recently the Pope had announced that he did not support decriminalization of homosexuality and he later compared saving the world from homosexuality was as important as saving the rain forest.  At the risk of upsetting someone, I’d like to question who is going to save the young catholic boys from being sexually assaulted by Catholic priest?

Queen of Spain Accused of Anti-Gay Sentiment

Sofia, the Queen of Spain has found herself under scrutiny after being quoted as condemning gay marriage, gay pride marches and abortion in an upcoming biography.

“If these people want to live together, dress as grooms and get married, they might have the right to do so or not, depending on the laws of their countries. But they shouldn’t call it marriage, because it isn’t,”

The book is an updated version of a biography written by Pilar Urbano 13 years ago. Urbano is a well-known journalist who has written for conservative newspapers.

The Royal Palace said the Greek-born queen had been misquoted.

“The supposed comments which, anyway, were made in a private sphere, do not exactly match the opinions expressed by Her Majesty The Queen,” it said in a statement.

Spain legalized gay marriage in 2005.

The Rain in Spain Falls Mainly on the Gay Plain

According to rainbownetork.com;

Spain delivers “blistering temptation” from a thriving gay scene in Barcelona to the “open-minded and progressive” attitude of Granada.  And writer Darren Cooper says the Canaries should be on your list too, not least Gran Canaria with its famous Yumbo Centre and Maspalomas, home to Europe’s largest gay beach, The Dunes.
