From Pink News:
Pope Benedict XVI has called gay marriage laws an "attack" on the natural differences between men and women.
Speaking just after Portugal's parliament voted to legalise same-sex marriage, the pontiff addressed the comments to the Vatican diplomatic corps in a message which focused on environmental issues.
This is not the first time he has used environmental messages to preach about the sins of gay people.
In an end-of year address in 2008, he said that the existence of gay people threatens humanity as much as the destruction of the rainforests does and that "blurring" genders through acceptance of transgender people would kill off the human race.
According to AFP, he spoke about protecting or endangering creatures including humans in today's address and said: "One such attack comes from laws or proposals which, in the name of fighting discrimination, strike at the biological basis of the difference between the sexes."
What a shame that arguably the most powerful religious leader on earth not only won't acknowledge the humanity of LGBT people but goes so far as to label them a threat to the speciies.
And they wonder why there are so many empty spaces in the pews on Sundays.....
