Family Research Center: Hate parading as religion?

Tragically, some of my baptized sisters and brothers support the Family Research Center solely because of their opposition to same-sex orientation and unions, considering it as obedience of God's Law. Some of our bishops have joined them in opposing the recognition and legalization of same-sex unions by states outside their dioceses. My own bishop allied himself with the opposition forces in a recent election in the state of Maine, contributing funds along with other bishops without informing us. I don't think that there can be any lasting benefit from imposing our Church law into the civil legal system. But authoritarian pronouncements and participation can easily and permanently damage the civil standing of all of God's children, especially those whom our bishops identify as "inherently disordered".
Human sexuality is the personal choice and expression of each and every image of God according to his or her conscience. The goal of our Church's law is to offer guidance and grace to each and every image of God so that all can answer God's call to full and eternal communion. The purpose of civil law is to ensure peace and justice for each and every citizen so that he or she can exercise his or her choice so long as it does not harm the commonweal. The Family Research Center's mission statement ends by saying that "Believing that God is the author of life, liberty, and the family, FRC promotes the Judeo-Christian worldview as the basis for a just, free, and stable society."
Church law comes from Sacred Scripture and Tradition proclaimed by the Magisterium and accepted and lived by the consensus of the faithful. Church law is inclusive. Civil law is enacted by the government of, for and by the people. Civil law is about freedom and justice for all. The Family Research Center's mission is judgemental and selective, especially for those minorities who don't act and talk and, yes, even look like the Judeo-Christian worldview as they see it.
Emmanuel does not mean "God is on our side." Emmanuel tells us that yesterday, today and always "God is with us, suffering and rejoicing."

To civilly protect a homosexual's homosexual relationship is no wiser than to civilly protect an alcoholic's drinking binge.When people's greatest need is to be turned away from their greatest desire,a government must do its job and tend to their needs,not do the easy thing and indulge their desires."Friends don't let friends" start or stay in same-sex sexual relationships!

None of this should be read as an apologia for the Family Research Center.I am a secularist (not an atheist) who believes that creationists,anti-abortionists,and their flat-earthish ilk should be driven from public policy.But the justifications absurdly proposed (and disgracefully swallowed) by the pathologically,rather than intelligently,"open-minded" for same-sex sexual activity risk discrediting the entire reputation of liberalism as an enlightened school of thought.
