Black gay priest in NYC challenges Catholicism from withinAmong Catholic priests in the United States, few are African American and few are openly gay.

A priest's sex and lifestyle is not something they are supposed to be telling us about. Oh people, why do you celebrate the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah? Why do you hate the commandments of God?

Do much better.
