There are Catholics all across Rhode Islandwho support the LGBTQIA+community and Ihonestly think that its shameful that Bishop Tobin is resorting to these attacks on the first day of pride month, on the 50th anniversary of Stonewall, pride isnt harmful, love is not harmful, its 2019.

Jesus never said a word about homosexuality, about Pride, or the Queer community, rhode Island Pride respectfully calls on Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas Tobin to do some self-reflection as the majority of Catholic Rhode Islanders in this state reject the idea that to be Roman Catholic is to be complicit to intolerance, bigotry, and fear.
