“There are nearly 80 countries where being gay is still a crime, and a dozen where being gay can result in the death penalty,  We believe that our Pope, our Church, with its belief in the sanctity of human life, should be leading efforts to end this most egregious form of oppression. Instead, our leader has chosen to stand with countries that continue to name us as criminals."

-- Marianne Duddy-Burke
Executive Director, DignityUSA
