“Let the church do its thing, and just ignore it. I really don’t care what the Catholic Church has to say. It doesn’t have any meaning to me. I have a live-and-let-live attitude.”

Jesika Moore
chef | Ticonderoga, N.Y.
“They do have the right, just like I have rights as a lesbian. Church leaders can express their opinions. I just don’t happen to agree with their beliefs. And I think they’re alienating a lot of their followers.”
