Default Furor in Italy over "gay" nativity

See, now, this is the reason that CC's get in a furor, feeling they are being "attacked" by gay activists. And I've gotta say I agree with them on this one.

Placing dolls representing homosexuals in "embraces" with gay marriage slogans on them in a nativity scene is, in my opinion, just childish. It has nothing to do with the nativity or story of the birth of Jesus. What could they possibly think this would accomplish?

Frankly, I, too, am outraged. This is stupid and does nothing to further the cause of global equality for GLBT people. In fact, it plays into the fears of the religious right and makes things worse for GLBT equality. I am very, very frustrated by this!

Rant over.
