Pope accused of stoking homophobia claims the Telegraph.
In the Pope's annual address to the Curia (Italian) he delivered an erudite reflection on Creation and the relationship between respect for the earth and respect for the human person. In the process he also criticized the notion of "gender" as it tends to play out in UN conferences, for example.
In a spirit of fairness and dialogue, the Telegraph grabbed three sentences from this address, read them to a lesbian pastor and a lesbian blogger, and reported their measured and thoughtful responses, such as

The Prada Papa Ratzi opens his trap again, and the homophobia stinks like trash piled up during a NYC garbage strike.Yes, Dears. Perhaps wait til the address appears in English before you tell us what it means? Or shall we assume that all British and American lesbians read Italian?
Update: ninme picks up on a different angle. You might think it'd make news when the Pope asks that there be more sex in the world!
