Archbishop Apologizes for Gay-KKK Analogy
By Trudy Ring
http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2012/01/06/Archbishop_Apologizes_for_Gay_KKK_Analogy/Cardinal Francis George, the Roman Catholic archbishop of Chicago, has finally apologized for comparing the LGBT rights movement to the Ku Klux Klan.
"I am truly sorry for the hurt my remarks have caused," George said in an interview published Friday afternoon on the Chicago Tribune's website. "Particularly because we all have friends or family members who are gay and lesbian. This has evidently wounded a good number of people. I have family members myself who are gay and lesbian, so it's part of our lives. So I'm sorry for the hurt." He added that the analogy was "very inappropriate."
