And to reject the Catholic church just because one disagrees with a sliver of Catholic teaching, is foolish.
Not if it's something very important to you, no. I don't care about their broader social teaching if they treat me as a second class citizen.

(Catholic social teaching as a whole is awful, too. But that's not the point)

Really LGBT issues are just the most obvious and easy to attack example, they're not the only reason people who convert to liberal churches. I could list a very long list of reasons I could never be Catholic. But it's also a very "personal" one, what should a person who wants to have a same-sex wedding in a church do? For them that's not a very small slice of Catholic teaching and would be a big issue.

As a gay I am not going to participate in a religion that treats me as a second class citizen. It really is as simple as that.
