As a gay Catholic, I cannot agree with Cardinal O'Brien

Cardinal O'Brien's comments on a referendum on equal marriage are the latest to have caused deep hurt to me and other lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Catholics ("Cardinal calls for gay marriage referendum", The Herald, July 16).

I was baptised into the family of the Catholic Church and continue to practise today. My faith is deep and strong, and it is through this faith that I can summon some forgiveness towards Cardinal O'Brien.
