		<description>Some of the replies here need correction:

1)  FRANK S stated:  &quot;No - Christian propoganda methinks.&quot;
YES, Frank it is true.  The following was reported on Friday, November 13th, 2009: 

Catholic Church to DC: Screw the needy, we hate gays more
Catholic Church gives D.C. ultimatum

The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington said Wednesday that it will be unable to continue the social service programs it runs for the District if the city doesn’t change a proposed same-sex marriage law, a threat that could affect tens of thousands of people the church helps with adoption, homelessness and health care. 

Under the bill, headed for a D.C. Council vote next month, religious organizations would not be required to perform or make space available for same-sex weddings. But they would have to obey city laws prohibiting discrimination against gay men and lesbians. 

It seems yet again the Catholic Church would rather dictate its morality than display its humanity. 

Fine. Tax ‘em and be done with them, after you throw all the kiddie diddlers and their robed enablers into prison with short eyes tattooed on their foreheads. 

2)  FRANCISCO4720: wrote:  &quot;same sex laws are bogus if they love each other enough they don&#039;t need to get married.&quot;

Would your opinion extend to all heterosexuals also? .

3)  VERITATUM17 wrote:  &quot;Not quite. Through the proposed legislation, the DC council is threatening to cut all funding to social service programs affiliated with the Catholic Church if the Church does not lift its opposition to extending benefits to same-sex partners.

WRONG.  In fact you have it backwards !!  It is the Catholic Church who is threatening to stop their involvement in all social service programs!  Please get you facts straight.</description>
