Campaigners protest the Vatican in support of marriage equality
Gay rights campaigners held a protest near St Peter’s Square on Sunday, during the Pope’s weekly prayers, after he said that legalising marriage equality “threatened the institute of marriage”.
About fifteen activists attended the protest, and carried with them coloured paper hearts emblazoned with messages such as “love has no barriers”, “gay marriage”, “talk about love”, “marry peace”, and “homophobia=death”, reported AFP.
The protesters were not allowed to access the square, which was full of worshippers who turned out to hear Pope Benedict XVI recite the Angelus on the third Sunday of Advent.
On Friday, in a message for World Day of Peace 2013, Pope Benedict XVI has described same-sex marriage as a threat to justice and peace, adding that it will spark harm for society.

At least the Catholic church is one step above LDS; they didn't have the protestors kissing in the photo arrested/harrassed for it. Granted they're still well into the batshit swamp.
