Thank you for missing ours. Have a nice evening as well.
Just think of how much money religious organizations have put into lobbying for bills like Prop 8, which deny rights to gay couples, yet do very little to confront the church over molestation of children by clergy.
It's not just the
Catholic Church with a monopoly on child rape, though they've perfected the organized criminality of it, right down to internally documented policies which allow it to continue unabated (research the Ratzinger letters to see how the beloved Pope was involved in covering up as many cases as possible by directing that all such cases be handled internally).
If a cleric is caught molesting children, the churches raise their hands in mock horror and proclaim "It's the gays! They infiltrate so they can get to our children." But pedophilia and homosexuality aren't related. Attraction to children is a specific paraphilia, and not even necessarily limited to an orientation but often to a narrow age group.
But if they can deflect and blame it on gay people to protect family values, yay for them.
Obviously there are atheist homophobes as well, because the only thing atheists share by definition is a lack of belief in God. But I haven't seen any "Atheist Family Leagues" funding the restriction of rights for other social groups.
