Losinski referred to the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, which has absolutely nothing to do with gay love. According to Ezekiel, “Sodom’s sins were pride and laziness and too much food, while the poor and needy suffered outside her door.”
Losinski wants gay teenagers to believe that when they fall in love with another person, it is analogous to murdering them or stealing from them or cheating them.
People thought like that during the Dark Ages of Christianity and in Nazi Germany. And, thanks to Pope Benedict and other preachers of homophobia, many people still think like this today.
In 1936, when Josef Ratzinger was 9 years old, Heinrich Himmler issued his infamous decree about gay people, calling for “the extermination of degenerates.”
In December of that same year, Josef’s bishop signed a pastoral letter that stated that cooperation with Hitler is “a matter of divine ordinance.”
Pope Benedict now refers to gay love as “disordered,” which isn’t much different than “degenerate.”
Where were the priests, ministers, rabbis, teachers and people of God in Nazi Germany who knew better?
They were all invisible and silent, just like they are today in the United States of America.
April 25 is the national “Day of Silence,” when we will be recognizing all you good people who choose to remain silent, while others teach self-hate to gay children with your tacit approval.
