Will Phillips, not the Catholic Church, is a fine moral and ethical example for my son
Will Phillips, just ten years old, is standing up to his school and his peers to protest for the rights and lives of gay and lesbian citizens. Meanwhile, the Catholic Church is throwing a tantrum in DC, threatening to hold back human services and other good works if the DC Council respects gay and lesbian rights. A child shall lead them, eh?

1. And let's not forget his parent for supporting him, sometimes we forget that many children
have strong feelings of legitimate, civil disobedience, but are "brought into line" by parents, thereby we never hear about those kids.

3. I want to contribute to this kids college fund.
Wish there was a way to contact his family.

Just saw him of The Daily Show and he made my week.

4. Well, the Catholic Church is a church.
No surprise if they decide they hate gays more than they love the poor.

Make way for the "liberal" Christians storming in to yell about how we gotta respect religion!

5. The Catholic church hates gay couples because they can't procreate new Catholics to exploit.
