i know this is a tad unhinged but i think the westboro baptist church changed slightly left leaning Catholic peoples minds to be pro gay simply because the wbc had the sign "god hates fags" and priests had to then argue that God Doesnt Hate Fags, God Hates Nobody (with a bunch of explanations about how gay behavior is sinful etc etc) and the few reasonable and loving people listening went: "oh, well god would never hate anyone AND these WBC people are taking our gods name in vain so we're going to be double mad at THEM. PRO GAY!" and then proceeded to think and act as if they were accepting of gays (if the gays didnt act on being gay of course, that's still a sin.)
#personal experience btw i was in a catholic church group when wbc was at peak news cycle#and lots of people were like we LOVE gays#but hate the SIN! we're so smart and kind unlike those nasty WBC Baptists!#idk what do you guys think. imo wbc had a hand in some minor acceleration of gay rights as a topic within#catholic churches#if only because catholics love disagreeing with baptists
