Rubén Díaz Sr. Gets A Thank You Letter… From His Fans At The Catholic Church

While New York State Senator Rubén Díaz Sr. of the Bronx, is not exactly the darling of LGBT’s after his vitriolic opposition to Marriage Equality in New York… or with the state domestic violence advocates, for his defense of fellow Senator Hiram Monserrate after his conviction for slashing and beating his live in girl friend by saying Senator Monserrate was found guilty only because he “was trying to do good by forcing his girlfriend to go to the hospital for treatment,” or for that matter by most of his fellow New York Senate Dems for regularly threatening to support a Republican take over of the Senate and Republican Candidates in next year elections ….

Diaz does seem to be the new golden boy for New York State Catholic Conference…. and the conference’s executive director, Richard Barnes has sent him a thank you letter for his “courageous” support of bigotry…

“On behalf of the Bishops of New York State and millions of other New Yorkers, please know that we are proud of you for taking this stand,” Barnes wrote.

..Please know that Catholic New Yorkers across the state are deeply appreciative of you for this vote of conscience. May God’s blessings be bestowed upon you and your family in abundance this holiday season.”… via NY Daily News.

And of course the letter was cc’ed to the Catholic Churches chief child abuse spin doctor in America… New Yorks Archbishop, “His Excellency the Most Rev. Timothy Dolan” .

It is good to see Diaz has a few friends anyway….
