Looney Toon Watch: Pope Benedict XVI

The Pope - this would be the straight old white man (the Pope is only allowed to be a straight old white man) who speaks on behalf of the entire Catholic Church and all Catholics the world 'round - this week reinforced the Church's homophobic bigotry by equating the threat of homosexuality with the need to save the planet:

Pope Benedict XVI has said that saving humanity from homosexual or transsexual behaviour is just as important as saving the rainforest from destruction.

He explained that defending God's creation is not limited to saving the environment, but also protecting man from self-destruction.

Apparently the planet's only worth saving if we can rid it of all the faggots in the process.

You can read the entire speech via the Vatican's web site, but only if you know Italian. (Pray to God tonight and if you're really good, he'll download the entire language into your brain while you sleep.)

Pope Benedict, now is the point in this blog entry when I call you one heckuva looney toon. But you're also one heckuva bigot. I'd say that to your face, but I have other equally important things to do, like converting to Buddhism and picking my nose (that's a form of meditation).
