Now that the Democratic National Committee has reversed its original stance and decided to allow New York Cardinal-Archbishop Timothy Dolan to deliver the closing prayer at the DNC convention next week, Buzzfeed is reporting that LGBT groups are upset with the decision.
“While Cardinal Dolan has a respected track record in the ministry, his work to undercut the dignity of LGBT people cannot be overlooked. There are many faith leaders who would be an ideal fit to close out the Democratic National Convention — but Cardinal Timothy Dolan is not that leader,” said Michael Cole-Schwartz of the Human Rights Campaign.
In light of their perception that a bigot has been invited to pray over the convention, it is curious why there isn’t more criticism coming from the LGBT folks toward the “Jumah at the 2012 DNC” event, a Muslim prayer vigil and “issues conference” that has been promoted on the official 2012 DNC website. Sponsored by an advocacy group which calls itself the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs, the Jumah will “serve and facilitate the efforts of Islamic organizations and Institutions in their endeavors as well as spread awareness about Indigenous Muslim issues.” [...]
If the organizers of the Jumah are as radical as they seem to be, then there’s a moment of cognitive dissonance happening here within the Democratic coalition. While LGBT groups are indignant at the inclusion of Cardinal Dolan, there’s been no quarrel from them on the invitation extended to individuals that share sympathies with hardline Islamist groups. Radical Islamists have a far, far more intolerant attitude toward homosexuals than any Catholic clergyman, to the point that they have recently been stoned and burned alive in some countries. Why doesn’t the LGBT lobby get as fired up about the organizers of the Jumah as it does about Cardinal Dolan? [...]

It would be a real hoot if the Muzzies get themselves so worked up during their 2 hour pray in that they go on a rampage after the homosexuals. The DemocRAT Party is a real zoo.
There's nothing dignified about same-sex buggery.
When you ask why are the DemonRATs pushing homosexuality, you think that they are pandering to an interest group. However, when Marxists are pushing homosexuality and the Holy Grail of same sex marriage, you wonder if there is an ulterior motive.
Yes, there is an ulterior motive. The institution of marriage is rooted in Natural Law and God’s Law. Both of these are the basis of our Constitution. Through out the basis of our Constitution and what do you have?
Answer: Communism.

None of them Christian, however.
All the DNC needs to do is find an islamic gay, same sex married imam to perform a muslim prayer at their convention. Shouldn’t be so hard to find one ay? (’

It’s cuz they can’t handle the Truth...
These coddled misfits could show their usual maturity in these matters and during the Cardinal’s prayer, could stick their fingers in their ears, and say, “Na-na-na-na.”
...his work to undercut the dignity of LGBT people...
