The head of
Finland’s Lutheran Evangelical Church publicly apologized to homosexuals and
other sexual minorities for what he said was the cruel treatment they had
received.
“When I think
of the outside pressure and treatment that we have been guilty of displaying
towards sexual minorities as a church and as a society for decades and how it
still continues, I think it’s time for an apology. Without any explanations or
prevarications,” he declared.
Mäkinen
added that “cruelty is cruelty” even if it has become more subtle than before.
He said he hoped that his apology would encourage others in the church and in
society to follow suit.
Why should the gay community accept your apology when the church still fights against marriage equality in Finland...actions speak louder than words, words that are as empty as the cup from which it flows.

Ulf you need to read your daily news journals as Finland has allowed Gay Marriage since 2002 but like most scandinavian countries they dont make a big media issue over it like the need to know everything americans
No, you need to get out of your isolationist bubble and read before you comment, Finland just last month (November 28) approved marriage equality.
True, they did legalize domestic partnerships in 2002..but not marriage, as I stated.
Nice to know you are bigoted against Americans as well, are you a racist too?
