One question.
In the reality of hard-ball politics, there appears to be no room for compromise with the Roman Catholic Church on the issue of GLBT marriage. GLBT has long been in a FULL COURT PRESS on this issue.
If GLBT has to destroy the Roman Catholic Church with mean spirited demonizing to make GLBT Marriage the law across the United States, would you approve?
There is always room for compromise. Marriage in a secular sense should be able to exist along side of marriage in the religious sense. the Church fears that it will be forced to make 'gay marriages' which goes against about 1.5K years of tradition (It had same gender marriage way back when it was first formed).
There is no need to destroy the church. While it does have its dark history which so many focus on, the truth is that it has also been a bright beacon in a dark world and has performed a good deal of 'good'.
