Gay Star News: Pope says gay marriage threatens humanity; Reaction to McNichol coming out; Elton writing book

It’s not just the Republican candidates – led by Rick Santorum – who are bashing gay marriage these days.

Pope Benedict XVI made his strongest comments against gay marriage in a speech earlier today at The Vatican.

Here is a LINK to that story.

In happier news, I chatted with some famous gay folks at the TV Critics Winter Tour over the weekend about Kristy McNichol coming out and Cherry Jones, BD Wong and Neil Meron all had very supportive things to say. Here is a LINK to that story.

And finally, news came out today that Elton John is writing a book about the AIDS crisis to be called Love is the Cure: Ending the Global AIDS Epidemic that will be out in July. Here is a LINK to read more about that.
