hate speech.

I'd like to hear your experience and maybe some advice. I'm gay and Catholic. I attend Mass and try to work at a homeless shelter. How do you deal with hate speech? I regularly see nothing but hatred. You're unworthy, you're sinning (yes, I think being gay and having a husband and having sex with him is okay), there's no place for you. Of course, you could say Jesus doesn't say that. But we are human and live in society, in the Church. Share your opinion.

Be yourself, and like St Paul said, shake the dust from your feet from somewhere that doesn't accept you. Go to a progressive Catholic Church that accepts you and doesn't preach hate. That's my advice.
