"I wonder if the LGBT community could give the institutional church the gift of time. Time to get to know you..." 
Seriously? I'm 73 years old and have been fighting for acceptance within the Catholic church my whole life. While there are small pockets of Catholic parishes that embrace LGBQT people, most are, at best, willing to include you if you remain silent and not push "a gay agenda". Few actively confront their local bishop to be more accepting. 
To encourage the bishops to soften their tone is almost laughable. In 2016 they preach that I am "intrinsically disordered", not a far cry from the days when I was "intrinsically evil". Such terms are no less painful to hear. Such terms cause (some) non-gay Christians to hate them.
The LGBQT community has a very long history of being persecuted by the Catholic hierarchy. Long before I will walk with them, they are going to have to actively seek forgiveness for their sins against the LGBQT community. Our wounds are deep. Our pain is real.
