‘For homosexual groups to suggest that the Catholic Church believes otherwise is disingenuous, dishonest, and an insult to the intelligence of Catholic voters in Maine’

“For decades gay and lesbian groups have attacked the Catholic Church for refusing to accept their skewed views on human sexuality and marriage. Having lost that battle, they have now launched this desperate and despicable attempt to curry favor with Catholics by pretending that the Catholic faith supports their radical agenda. … Everybody knows the Catholic Church is opposed to counterfeit marriages . . . . For homosexual groups to suggest that the Catholic Church believes otherwise is disingenuous, dishonest, and an insult to the intelligence of Catholic voters in Maine. … We call on Protect Maine Equality to stop lying about our faith and to immediately pull this ad from the airwaves and from YouTube.” —CatholicVoteAction.org President Brian Burch, demanding Protect Maine Equality pull this ad featuring a Catholic mom speaking lovingly about her gay kin

If you’re curious, this is the type of advertising Burch prefers. From an anti-abortion campaign by the Fidelis Center for Law & Policy (which operates CatholicVote.org and CatholicVoteAction.org):
