“Inviting Timothy Dolan to pray at the Democratic convention is out of step with the inclusive, pro-LGBT family values held by President Obama and the Democratic Party,” said TWO Communications Director John Becker. “There are hundreds of inclusive faith leaders across America whose views are more closely aligned with those of the Democratic Party; one of them should have been chosen for this high-profile honor instead.”
The New York archbishop will bless a party that is preparing to become the first political party in America to endorse marriage equality. Today’s announcement comes less than one week after Dolan revealed that he would offer the final benediction at the Republican National Convention, drawing sharp criticism from Truth Wins Out and other groups uncomfortable with an alliance between Catholic leaders committed to stopping marriage equality and a Republican party that has just passed the most anti-gay party platform in modern history.
“We can’t keep bowing down to archconservative religious leaders and then wonder why Americans falsely equate Christianity with conservative political views,” added Besen. “It makes no sense that we continue giving short shrift to our allies in the faith community while offering our imprimatur to our political opponents.”
Truth Wins Out (TWO) is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to create a world where LGBT individuals can live openly, honestly and true to themselves. TWO monitors anti-LGBT organizations, documents their lies and exposes their leaders. TWO specializes in turning information into action by organizing, advocating and fighting for LGBT equality.
