The Catholic Church gained influence and officially stood opposed to homosexuality. However, this was certainly not what was always practiced.

March On Washington Gays In The Military
1,837 wordsFor some veterans of the civil-rights era, it's a matter of stolen prestige.

Homosexual Marriage Gay Marriage
