text: My second comment on this is fr james message that Lgbt people should also love those in the hierarchy.  That is a very difficult message given the rampant homophobia and transphobia in the hierarchy but it's the gospel. Jesus doesn't only say "love those who reciprocate it". He says "love your neighbor and your enemy". 
  
  When Jesus was being crucified on the cross in the worst form of state terrorism and violence while being mocked he still loved those who mocked and oppressed him among the religious hierarchy and Roman occupation guard. That is the difficult and counter cultural example we as Christians have to emulate.
