I don't really agree with most if not all of her ideas, but if more people were like the woman who was interviewed than there wouldn't be so much animosity in between the LGBTQ community and religious communities.

I like that she's logical and rational. I like that she seems to be saying that it's ok to not be ok with homosexuality, but that it's also ok for (non-Catholics) to be ok with it. (That said, I'd be interested in her stance on both gay marriage and gay Catholics.) I wish we could have more conversations like this one, and less WBC-esque hatred ( ... )

Life on the Rock is a weird semi live show on EWTN that became my odd guilty pleasure in college. UMF didn't have that many cable channels that were on 24 hours and EWTN was one of them ( ... )

THIS!

Accepting that one cannot just "pray the Gay away" (without going into whether homosexuality is okay or not) is much much more healthy than what some religious groups are trying to sell to people. I really wish that I had seen an interview like this when I was in high school.
