Gay Groups Up In Arms Over B16...

Honestly, I don't understand the shock and awe that homosexual-rights activists are expressing at the election of Cardinal Ratinzer as the new Pope. Everyone from Andrew Sullivan to groups like DignityUSA are freaking out as if all of a sudden the Catholic church is going to start rounding up gays and sending them to the work camps.

"The new Pope is seen as the principal author of the most virulently anti-gay, anti-GLBT rhetoric in the last papacy," said DignityUSA President Sam Sinnett.

Did they actually think the Cardinals assembled would choose a man who would turn away over a thousand years of tradition and pronounce that homosexuality and "transgenderism" is just fine with him? Like all of a sudden they are going to wake up one morning and say to themselves, "gee, maybe we should rethink this whole 'gay' thing"?

It's this kind of reaction that shows two things:
1) they are completely out of touch with not just the population of the U.S. but of the rest of the world (outside of Western Europe, that is) regarding its views on homosexuality - and are utterly unrealistic in their expectations, and
2) the "war room" mentality that these groups have in pursuing their agenda.
