#LoveWins? Bronx priest reports getting spit on after today's gay pride parade in NYC

Walking down Broadway and 22nd St just now, I ran into gay marriage parade. Two men walked by and spat on me. Oh well… I deserve worse.

The two men who spat on me are probably very good man caught up in excitement and past resentment. Most in that parade would not do that.

A shame of this really happened. Did you report it to NYC police? They are EVERYWHERE during #Pride. @fatherjonathan https://t.co/yhUaTTPkr7

@Clarknt67 @fatherjonathan did this really happen? Or maybe you were mumbling out loud about abominations or something and someone mocked u?

Are we rushing to judgement? Is it true? What about the other side? @DFlexmatrix @fatherjonathan https://t.co/OMnGTDBkdn

@Clarknt67 @fatherjonathan I'm skeptical that someone simply spit on him.

There is no evidence is there? People make up hate crimes @DFlexmatrix: @fatherjonathan I'm skeptical that someone simply spit on him.

@Clarknt67 @fatherjonathan yes people make up hate crimes. It's upsetting but true. If he was truly spat upon, I would help report it myself

@Clarknt67 @fatherjonathan @tomsiemers Its more likely father john got goosed, than spat on…. We want closeted priests to come out

Walking down the road and someone walking out of a church called me a kike. See how easy it is to lie on Twitter? @fatherjonathan

@holybullies @kwsanders @fatherjonathan Are we to believe your story is true?

.@fatherjonathan Terrible, but your church has done far worse to gays historically. Tweeting this does no good, and you know that.

Given your kind was responsible for the Spanish Inquisition (among many horrible things) you got off extremely lucky. @fatherjonathan

@fatherjonathan Did both of them spit on you? At the same time? Are you implying they were gay? How do you know? Did you photograph them
