Gay and lesbian activists say a speech by Pope Benedict XVI comparing homosexuality to global warming was irresponsible and encouraged homophobia. Pope Benedict, addressing the Curia, the Vatican’s central administration, Monday in an end-of-year address, said humanity needs to listen to the “language of creation” to understand God’s intent in the roles of man and woman, adding that homosexual relations are a “destruction of God’s work,” The Times of London reported. We wonder where did The Pope heard God say things like that! Did he go to heaven and ask God himself?
Pope Benedict said:
The tropical forests do deserve our protection. But man, as a creature, does not deserve any less.
Rev. Sharon Ferguson
Chief executive of the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement, told The Times of London:
It is more the case that we need to be saved from (Benedict’s) comments. It is totally irresponsible and unacceptable in any shape or form. It is comments like that that justify homophobic bullying that goes on in schools and it is comments like that that justify gay-bashing.
