Gay Rights Activists and Roman Catholics Face Off in Mexico


I saw this coming. After the historic gay rights win in Mexico, religious freaks are falling out, screaming Satan and other lovely words.

Here's the scoop:
Gay rights activists and a group of Roman Catholics in Mexico have yelled insults at each other during dueling demonstrations over same-sex marriage.

Some 200 gay rights activists waved rainbow flags and held signs reading "Thank God I'm gay" at a plaza next to the cathedral in Guadalajara on Sunday.

A similar number of protesters opposed to gay marriage prayed at the cathedral's doors. One of them ripped up a sign held by a gay rights activist, prompting screaming by both sides.

It was the second confrontation in two days in Guadalajara, where Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iniguez stirred controversy by suggesting Mexico's Supreme Court was bribed to uphold a Mexico City law allowing adoptions by homosexual couples.

They just need to get the FRAK over it!

I'm a religious person, but the time-old argument - Church and State has to be separated.....I also say that religious persons needs to remember the one commandment of Jesus - "LOVE ALL". It's that simple!
