From the start, Keyes -- long known as one of the extreme fringe members of the far right -- and guest William Donohue of the Catholic League not only attacked and gratuitously insulted the other guests on the show (Mary Louise Cervone of Dignity/USA, the nation's largest LGBT Catholic membership organization, and Sister Maureen Fiedler of Catholics Speak Out), but also insulted gay Catholics in general -- with Keyes lecturing the guests who disagreed with him that their opinions on the matter were irrelevant because they did not conform to his religious beliefs.

Instead of addressing the issue Keyes raised on his show that night, that the two female guests' opinions were inconsistent with the Catholic Church's position, GLAAD resorts to name-calling and to twisting Keyes' statement. It's telling that they would consider being in harmony with the Catholic Church's mainstream Christian teachings against sexual licentiousness as "extreme fringe."

Here is all you ever need to do when talking about homosexuality and Catholicism with those who support it:

Does the official teaching of the Church condone any type of sex other than contraception-free intercourse between a married man and woman?

They will never answer this question - or if they do they will say it does not matter what the Church teaches (or for that matter what the Bible says).

This allows everyone present for the conversation to understand that the gaystapo freely ignore the Church and have no respect for her teaching. Why do they even bother pretending to be Catholic at that point?
