According to the Washington Blade, a “gay” news source, a homosexual friend of William Barr is “thrilled” that Barr might become the next United States Attorney General.
[Paul] Cappuccio, who said he’s “thrilled” Barr may come back as attorney general, said the Trump nominee “feels extremely passionate” that “justice is about fairness for an individual, and people are entitled to be treated as individuals no matter what their political views, their race, their religion, their sexual orientation.”
“About that, he’s always been passionate, and I’ve seen it with a first-hand seat, including sitting next to him in the attorney general’s office for a couple years, so I feel quite comfortable and happy that Bill could be attorney general again,” Cappuccio said.
There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, but Cappucio goes on to say that Barr is a “devout Catholic” and also said:
“For what it’s worth, I have direct experience with him as a person and seen how he has not only treated LGBT people fairly, but mentored them,” Cappuccio said. “He’s been a huge force in my life. For example, I got to tell you, I wasn’t always open, and when he found out, he looked at me and said, ‘You feel like you couldn’t tell me? You couldn’t tell me you want to marry someone? I can’t believe that.’ And that was one of the sweetest things. ‘I want to meet this guy’ is what he said.”
The Washington Blade is not so sure about Barr, but neither am I. I think that a devout Catholic (as I am) would treat homosexuals with respect but not show any kind of approval for a homosexual “marriage.” I know that I wouldn’t, as a Catholic. I would love the sinner, but hate the sin. As a result of this testimony, I cannot support William Barr for Attorney General. Sorry, but I just can’t.
