Clearly, for a long time, people that participate in same gender relationships... have been looked down upon. Whether actively or privately, one has to admit that there are people that do not like Homosexuals. This is especially true for a country like America, which has a sort of set image for American ideals. Heterosexuality is one of them.
However, recently, Roman Catholic Bishops in France released a document that is supportive of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) Relationships. If you can read French, you can find the original document here:
The documents says, and I quote, that "We are able to appreciate the desire for a commitment to fidelity in a love relationship: of a sincere attachment, of a deep caring, one for the other, and of a lasting bond" in same-sex relationships," except in French.
With this apparent sign of Catholic approval of LGBT relationships, the question comes down to whether this will have an effect on some of the Catholic Homophobes and whether it might even change American laws regarding Homosexuality. Who knows?
