"It's not about your lifestyle" -- yeah, right!

It's not a gay thing...really!

This is one of those stories that not only makes me angry, but also embarrasses me as a Catholic.

Apparently a number of Manassas (VA) residents, several of whom are parishioners at All Saints Catholic Church, don't want local officials to approve the home-business application of a particular massage therapist. Even though other similar applications have been approved with no objection, this particular applicant -- who just happens to be gay, and who just happens to share his home with his male partner -- should not have his application approved because of fears that his business might detract from the neighborhood's "family-friendly atmosphere."
