ROME, Apr 11 (LSN.ca) - Just a week after having been criticized for his endorsement of efforts to oust the Vatican from the United Nations, US presidential hopeful Al Gore has once again shown an anti-Catholic bias. Gore has signed a letter of endorsement for a massive gay pride event to take place in Rome this year.
The event, World Pride 2000, plans to flood the city which surrounds the Vatican with hundreds of thousands of homosexual activists celebrating and flaunting their sexual "orientation." The Vatican had strenuously requested that Rome not allow the homosexual event, especially this year since millions of pilgrims are visiting Rome for the Jubilee year celebrations. Rome's city government has allowed the "gay pride" week to take place from July 1 to 9 despite the Vatican pleas. Catholic commentators in Rome have called the homosexual initiative a calculated attack against the Church and an "anti-Jubilee."
The pride parade's organizer in Rome, Imma Battaglia, president of the Mario Mieli gay centre, swore at the pope with vulgarity in an interview with a homosexual newspaper. The paper, Toronto's NOW magazine, also quoted Battaglia as reading a letter of endorsement of World Pride 2000 signed by US vice-president Al Gore. In the letter Gore says he is "pleased to send greetings," adding that Battaglia's group is "building a good and just society on the bedrock principle of opportunity".
