are u freakin' kidding me? I am sooo tired of people who have such a huge problem with other people's sex lifes. Please ask me again why anyone else's sex life is the business of anyone but those engaged? I mean I think it is absolutely ridiculous that the vatican feels the need to make such a stand that hurts gay people everywhere. I hate any government that even thinks about meddling in the sex life of any people, saying that just because they want to have sex with someone of the opposite sex that everyone in the world should as well. That, IMO is unnacceptable because it is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. That the pope would ENCOURAGE politicians to behave in manner is INNAPPROPRIATE...this situation is no different. I am so tired of religious fanatics/officials trying to make everyone else behave in the same way that they do. I generally respect the pope even though I'm not catholic, but today I have lost any respect for him that I had ever had.

Edited to add: And what bothers me further is that this decree does nothing but make it even harder for homosexuals to have any sort of peace at all. After all, so many people I know have had to deal with coming out of the closet and all the pain it causes them...why would anyone want to make it even harder for them to live a happy, settled lifestyle with someone they love? I think that's just screwed up
