Well look at this new fact. I had no idea that the building the
Jersey Shore rescue mission wants to use for shelter was previously,
before they bought it, a church. So the building had a pre
established church use...interesting.
If this is all because the shelter will not allow homeless gay men,
than why isn't this group also sueing The Catholic Church who won't
ordain gay men into the Priesthood?
Let's be balanced with our bias, at the least.
