The Catholic League is showing off its blind spots. I'm not going to give them fuel for their adopted cause célèbre, but there is this.
How on earth can this be "generating hate"?: loving gay and lesbian couples, some of them on behalf of their families, stand up and ask - ask! - for the right to be married in the State of Maine, a right already conferred by the Maine legislature. Mainers are then "attacked" by the Catholic-inspired group, NOM, to apply a God-standard to gays, instead of a civil law standard.
Yet, in the la-la land that the Church has reduced civics to in Maine, that is exactly what the well paid head of the Catholic League implies 'generates hate':
To be specific, Grard, who is Catholic, was unhappy with the angry comments made by Trevor Thomas of the Human Rights Campaign following last month’s election results. Having just lost in his bid to secure gay marriage in Maine, Thomas blamed hatred of gays for the loss. Grard wrote back, blaming Thomas’ side for generating hate. That was it.
