Kat Williams won't be singing on Saturday. The North Carolina singer has performed at the Asheville Gala of Hope fundraiser for the past two years, but when the Catholic Church learned from a 2013 magazine article that she is in a same-sex relationship they ordered Catholic Charities to fire her.

"Marriage can only be between one man and one woman," Catholic Diocese of Charlotte's director of communications David Hains told WLOS. "Because Ms. Williams chooses to be in a relationship that's different from that, it really makes it inappropriate for her to perform for us."

"We, as a Catholic organization, have the right to represent our faith and what we're doing essentially is exercising that right," Hains added.

...

WLOS reports the "Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte says its decision is nothing personal against Williams."

"Nothing personal." - They just don't want to have anything to do with her because of who she is. Yay wonderpope! New Catholic Church! Who are they to judge? PBBBBT.

1. Aw, you know Blank Frank would just LOVE gay people,

if only those 'sinister powers' at the Vatican weren't making him toe the line.

It's true, I read it here.

2. Who am I to judge?

But, seriously, you are going to fire musicians because of their lifestyle? Holy shit, that means you are going to be stuck with shitty Christian rock. And even then, if those people were honest....

3. UPDATE: This situation has been resolved.

The bigots canceled the gala rather than accept someone for who they are.
