Wear Black This Weekend

Local News, By Tim D, 14th July, 2008

“Homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered. Homosexual acts go against the natural moral law. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.”

These hateful words were written by Joseph Ratzinger, a Vatican Cardinal in 2003. Some 30 years before, the same author wrote a damning report called “Declaration on Certain Questions Concerning Sexual Ethics” in which he stated that the inclination toward homosexuality is “tendency toward an intrinsic moral evil, and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder.”

In 2008, this man is now known as Pope Benedict XVI, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church who arrived on Australian soil this week to spread his message of intolerance to half a million pilgrims in Sydney for World Youth Day.

We want to send a clear message that it is OK to be gay. Join SameSame.com.au’s black campaign.

Let’s unite to send an important message to the Pope.

Yours in blackness,

reminds me of a funny moment from bridget boson's show on JOYFM. she was doing a segment about the pope's red shoes today and someone told her that they were made especially for the pope by some flashy italian designer label. bridget said, "oh they must've been made by prada." and then a listener texted in and said, "no, the devil wears prada."

Ironically, the red shoes are meant to symbolise blood of the martyrs. Especially with quite a number of the saints were killed (burned, stoned, crucified, tortures etc...the usual...) by the catholic church and then later canonised. More importantly, JP II got rid of the red and wore brown instead. But cometh the ratzi, probably observing his fundamentalist-Muslim counterparts who were in to martyrdom, brought back the reds.

I believe the Pope wears rainbow colours from time to time. I like to think it's in support of gays and lesbians.
