Police have filed an assault charge against the executive director of Boston-based Catholic Citizenship in the attack on a woman protesting the group's anti-gay rally Saturday outside Worcester City Hall.

Sarah Loy, 27, a straight supporter of same-sex marriage, went to a rally organized by anti-gay VoteOnMarriage and Catholic Citizenship in Worchester, Mass.
Loy, who attended with her husband and a few other gay allies, went to the rally and staged a counterprotest. Loy held a sign saying "No discrimination in the Constitution."
The rally was one of many aiming to pressure the Massachusetts legislature to vote on a proposed amendment to halt same-sex marriage ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) in the state, the only one where it is legal. Last month, Massachusetts lawmakers recessed for the year without acting ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) on the anti-gay plan.
Larry Cirignano, 50, Catholic Citizenship's leader, led the crowd Saturday in the Pledge of Allegiance, then allegedly saw Loy and lunged at her, tackling her to the ground.
"You need to get out. You need to get out of here right now," he threatened as he pushed her to the ground, her head slamming against the concrete sidewalk, according to the Worchester Telegram & Gazette. The rally continued without any protest from the Catholic group, as a teary Loy yelled, "That's what hate does, that's what hate does," before leaving the scene.

As my friend Uncle Ward has said so often, "Scratch a 'phobe, smell a misogynist."
And we all know that Mr Cirignano would have wet himself if Ms. Loy had been a man.
I hope she sues his ass until Hell itself won't have it.

What else should one expect from the American Taliban? Pedo priests are fine just can't allow same sex marriage. F*ckers.
