Yahoo! News - Boston Anti-Gay Marriage Rally Draws 2,000
BOSTON (Reuters) - Boston Archbishop Sean O'Malley said gay marriage would have an "enormously negative impact on our society," drawing cheers from people at a rally on Sunday in an ongoing battle over a Massachusetts court ruling that gives same-sex couples the right to marry.

Gay rights activists who attended the rally on Boston Common accused the Archdiocese of Boston of fostering homophobia and discrimination. The church has been the center of a clergy-sexual abuse scandal that sent shockwaves to Rome.

Glass houses? Doesn't the Archdiocese have it's own "enormously negative impact on our society" to contend with?
