Perhaps not in Spain however. I do agree that the Catholic Church is probably responsible for the way LGBTTQI people around the world are systematically brutalised and criminalised. Let's face it, despite being several centuries out of touch with reality, the Vatican still has a lot of clout. Personally, I don't see why Stephen Noon would work for fascists anyway. If they want us out, then perhaps gay people everywhere should boycott them. Oh wait, but that would mean the Catholic Church losing around half it's priests in one fell swoop!
