The Daily Caller<\/a> posted a story today about the LGBT people<\/a> who are protesting the fact that New York Cardinal<\/a>–Archbishop Timothy Dolan<\/a> will deliver the closing prayer at the Democratic National Convention<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article relates the objection:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Cardinal Dolan has a respected track record in the ministry, his work to undercut the dignity of LGBT people cannot be overlooked. There are many faith leaders who would be an ideal fit<\/a>to close out the Democratic National Convention \u2014 but Cardinal Timothy Dolan is not that leader,\u201d said Michael Cole-Schwartz of the Human Rights Campaign<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is interesting to me that the LGBT people are not protesting the two hour Muslim prayer<\/a> meeting that is going on at the beginning of the convention. Has it occurred to them what their human rights would be under Sharia Law<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

While LGBT groups are indignant at the inclusion of Cardinal Dolan, there\u2019s been no quarrel from them on the invitation extended to individuals that share sympathies with hardline Islamist groups. Radical Islamists have a far, far more intolerant attitude toward homosexuals than any Catholic clergyman, to the point that they have recently been stoned and burned<\/a>alive in some countries. Why doesn\u2019t the LGBT lobby get as fired up about the organizers of the Jumah as it does about Cardinal Dolan? Partly, adherents to the Judeo-Christian tradition<\/a> are familiar targets for the LGBT lobby. But this situation is also the product of the unqualified embrace of pluralism that characterizes the left. When moral judgments are subordinated to the mantra of \u201cdiversity,\u201d then the truly odious views aren\u2019t diminished. The result is that the LGBT lobby has become another group on the left that fails to see the danger that radical Islam<\/a> poses to all of us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The double standard here is amazing.<\/p>\n
