Discrimination against gays and lesbians extends from the very highest echelons of the Catholic Church.
Being gay and catholic can be a very painful experience.

His book provides for the courage to name the sins that have been committed against people 'in the closet' and the faith to avoid retaliation and scapegoating, which Allison believes are the heart of true religion.
