Are believing Christians not worthy of the Washington Post?

I’m looking at Don Surber’s post concerning Tony Perkins blog post at the WP. He notes that the comments are universally negative concerning Mr. Perkins at the post.
Now we Roman Catholics treat Homosexuality differently than most Protestants, we don’t consider the orientation a sin (the Catechism calls it “intrinsically disordered”) but the act is.
So although there is disagreement here. Let’s ask the questions I’ve already asked once before on Twitter:
As believing Protestants believe homosexuality is a sin, does that mean that all believing protestants are by definition bigots who are unworthy of being in the Washington Post?
As believing Orthodox Jews consider homosexuality a sin does that mean that all believing protestants are by definition bigots who are unworthy of being in the Washington Post?
As believing Muslims consider homosexuality a sin does that mean that all believing Muslims are by definition bigots who are unworthy of being in the Washington Post? That’s a tough one, gotta be inclusive here.
As believing Catholics consider homosexual acts sinful does that mean that all believing Catholics are by definition bigots who are unworthy of being in the Washington Post?
If you answered yes to any and all of those questions, then the question you need to ask yourself is? Are I a bigot who is unworthy of being in the Washington Post?
I would love to have the courage of these Catholics

When you hear about the 1st century martyrs of the Church you sometimes wonder if you would have the same courage as them. Nobody has to wonder about these folks:
Saudi police raided a secret Catholic mass in Riyadh last week and arrested a dozen Filipinos and a Catholic priest
Considering that Saudi Arabia is well-known for its highly enlightened legal system it takes a lot of guts to attend such a mass and even more to be the priest serving it.
And if you think the time of Christian Martyrdom is long over think again.
I don’t approve of this either…

As you might guess I don’t approve of Enrique Chagoya’s “The Misadventures of Romantic Cannibals”.
That being said I don’t approve of this either:
A woman using a crowbar entered a Colorado art museum Wednesday and destroyed a controversial exhibit by a Stanford University art professor that some say shows Jesus Christ engaged in a sex act.
The exhibit — called “The Misadventures of Romantic Cannibals” by Stanford’s Enrique Chagoya — has been the subject of a week’s worth of protests by those who claim it is blasphemy.
The suspect was identified by police as 56-year-old Kathleen Folden of Kalispell, Mont. She is currently in custody on a charge of criminal mischief.
The fact that unlike a certain religion of peace™ she took out her anger on the piece rather than the “artist” or the exhibitor doesn’t change the fact that it is a wanton act of vandalism and a crime against freedom of speech. I would have hoped for better from an American.
Bad form madam, bad form indeed!
