I know I'm not exactly the type of person you were hoping for critique from, being a straight Catholic male, but I want to thank you for writing this and I want to thank you for not giving up and leaving the church. It pains me as well to hear the letters from my Archbishop and from Rome condemming Gays in the church and disparaging the secular government for recognising their civil rights and I want to let you know that even if 1000 Catholics come up to you and tell you that you aren't welcome, or behave towards you as though you are not good enough to be a member of the body of Christ, God knows different and I know different and would hazard that there are quite a few other folks who would agree with me. It's people like you who keep the church from becoming like the Pharasies in the Gospels, it's people like you who are part of the church that I love.
Ps. if you don't end up getting it published where you're sending it I'd love to publish it in the January issue of my zine.
