As for hating, women and LGBTs know quite well what hating really is. Hate is dragging suspected LGBTs from their homes in the middle of the night and whipping them in the streets. Hate is throwing acid in the face of a young girl all because she wanted to go to school. It's young Matthew Shepard beaten, tortured and left to die on a fencepost. Its millions of women and little girls sold into sexual slavery. Hate is turning away a gay person from the bedside of their dying loved one... when rape is considered a cure for lesbianism... it is there with every woman forced to seek a back-alley abortion and every child made homeless simply because they are gay. Oh, there's plenty of hate to go around in this world but criticizing the Pope for being an avowed misogynist and homophobe and the leader of a religious organization that actively lobbies for and funds bigotry against women and LGBTs, that is criticism well deserved.
