What I don't get is why Catholics would be opposed to this in the first place. Pope Francis has come out and said "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?"
He has said that the Church's teachings is that people of different backgrounds are not to be isolated, but they are our brothers (and sisters). Catholics teach that everyone has sin, and does "wrong" but that doesn't mean you turn away from them.
How does that philosophy equal not supporting Gay-Straight Alliances? Isn't clubs like this the philosophy that churches would want to support? I'm not christian so I don't know if I am way off on this, but it just seems logical to me.
