The Catholic Church is pretty clear on its stance about homosexual sex. The Rainbow Sash Alliance thinks the Catholic Church is wrong to call homosexual sex sinful, so they go to Catholic parishes to "make statements". The Mass is not the time, nor the place, to make such demonstrations. It's like telling someone, if you want to come over, don't wear muddy boots. So, then they go over wearing muddy boots, and throw a fit when they're not allowed to come in and walk on someone's new, clean carpets. Not a perfect analogy, but close enough if you ask me.

And how does this differ substantively from Chandler saying that the Church thinks that self-described Democrats are wrong and if you want to come over, don't be a Democrat?
The positions regarding homosexuality and abortion seem to be parsed out to political party...and then the adherents to the political party are banned from their own important rituals.
Close enough if you ask me.
