US bishops show solidarity with LGBTQ+ youth
Roman Catholic cardinal Joseph Tobin and Archbishop John Wester of Santa Fe, shared a message of support for LGBTQ+ youth, along with a handful of other US bishops. The bishops released a statement in collaboration with the Tyler Clementi Foundation, named for the Rutgers University student who took his own life in 2010 after his sexuality was made public, saying: “All people of goodwill should help, support and defend LGBTQ+ youth.”Along with Tobin and Wester, the statement was signed by bishops John Stowe of Lexington, Robert McElroy of San Diego, Steven Biegler of Cheyenne, and Edward Weisenberger of Tucson.
