Cuban church protests support for gay rights

quote:
Cuba's Roman Catholic Church on Tuesday protested the communist government's growing support of gay rights, including a daylong event raising awareness against homophobia and a law allowing sex-change operations.

"Respect for the homosexual person, yes," said an editorial in Palabra Nueva, the monthly magazine of the Archdiocese of Havana. "Promotion of homosexuality, no."

The editorial signed by magazine director Orlando Marquez referred to activities held May 17 by Cuba's Sex Education Center, which is directed by Mariela Castro, daughter of President Raul Castro.

Cuba's parliament also is studying proposals to give gay couples the same benefits as married couples.


Obviously the church reactionaries don't believe in evolution as well, which is why they haven't evolved in their thinking since the dark ages.

I'm confident Cuba will pay close attention to historical experience and beware of the fifth column. This homophobic anti-people church should thank their God they are allowed to spew such opinions in public.
