Internet Explodes After Bishop Tells Catholics Not To Support LGBT ‘Pride Month.’ Here’s His Statement On The ‘Controversial’ Tweet.

On Saturday, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island, sparked mass outrage after telling fellow Catholics not to celebrate LGBT “Pride Month.” In a statement published the following day, the Catholic leader clarified his stance concerning LGBT children of God but noted that he will not shy away from leading the faithful, even regarding “sensitive issues.”

“A reminder that Catholics should not support or attend LGBTQ ‘Pride Month’ events held in June. They promote a culture and encourage activities that are contrary to Catholic faith and morals. They are especially harmful for children,” the bishop wrote in a tweet.
