The Rainbow Sash Movement a National Gay and Lesbian Catholic organization fully supports the efforts of Mayor Gavin Newsom of San Francisco to promote tolerance. We are deeply troubled that the San Francisco Baptist Ministers would not recognize the separation of Church and State. Their attack on the Mayor Newsome’s faith and integrity should be challenged. They do not represent Jesus Christ in this matter, they do represent another opinion.

We deeply respect the Mayor‘s recognition of all families. His faith and family values are about inclusiveness not about fear and intolerance. He certainly follows in the footsteps Mayor George Moscone, and City Supervisor Harvey Milk in supporting the rights of the marginalized with integrity. As Gay and Lesbian Catholics we are deeply impressed with his promotion of Gospel Values. We ask for prayers for him and his family, we recognize how difficult it must be for his family to witness these demonizing attacks.
