Gay groups angry at Pope remarks
BBC.CO.UK ^ | Tuesday, 23 December 2008

Defending God's creation was not limited to saving the environment, he said, but also about protecting man from himself. It was not "out-of-date metaphysics" to "speak of human nature as 'man' or woman'", he said. It came from the "language of creation, despising which would mean self-destruction for humans".

Alternate headline:

“Sinners mad at being called out.”

“Gay groups angry...”

Gay folks really should change their name.

The guilty hate it when you point out their guilt. Its a natural response. But, God put us here to see if we could overcome our natural selves. But, homosexuals and Liberals want us to indulge our natural selves and societies that went down that road in the past did not survive for long.

That’s almost but not quite as common as “Muslim group offended.”

Yes. Traditional and correct definition-wise, that’s a bit of an oxymoronic headline, isn’t it? (with emphasis on moronic)

They're always angry at the people who point out the truth, aren't they? Its no longer about accepting the fact they will never be normal; its about imposing their sexual deviancy upon the rest of society.

But on the sit-coms the “gay” characters always seem so nice and funny.

Leftists are always angry when anything even REMINDS them of the truth.

10 commandments,
Christmas symbols and carols,
a cross,
etc

Reminds me of the Whittaker Chambers quote: “Innocence seldom utters outraged shrieks. Guilt does.”

It sucks being caught screwing-up your life and having it pointed out by someone who cares for you. Drug abusers go through the same state of anger at their loved ones during intercession. It’s a natural reaction and symptom of the illness. Thank you, Pope Benedict, for having the courage and affection to speak the Truth despite contemporary outcry.

If it ticks them off then he's got it nailed!

Their arrogance gets in the way of humility and a contrite heart.

“Gay Groups Angry” ??

Who gives a flying shit-tzu!!!

What are they gonna do?? Attack the Vatican? That’d be something to watch. I’m still waiting for them to go to South Central LA or Compton to protest the black churches that back Prop 8. But they won’t, they know who they can get away with harassing.

Hissy fit du jour.

Gays have been on a roll, recently. Their agenda has been jumping ahead in leaps and bounds, at least in the West. It must have come as an unpleasant surprise to discover that unreformed pockets of resistance to the "sodomy is normal" mantra, still remain.
