A Portland, Maine-based group that provides support and advocacy for the homeless has lost $50,000 in grants from the Catholic Church for its support of marriage equality.
According to the Portland Press Herald, “Preble Street's Homeless Voices for Justice program has lost $17,400 this year and will lose $33,000 that it expected for its next fiscal year.
“Officials with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland and the Washington-based Catholic Campaign for Human Development say that Preble Street violated its grant agreement by supporting Maine's ‘No on 1’ campaign last fall.”Maine voters approved Question 1 in November and repealed the state’s marriage equality law.
