Radical gay activists claim Newman was gay.

So like this is news?  I can’t tell you how many people have suggested the same thing to me - even a priest or two.  Sadly, gay men often do not understand same-sex friendship and fraternal love.   Although today such close friendship can even be confusing for normal men, tainted as many are by our sexualized culture, along with the prevalence of gay propaganda. 

One must remember that homosexuality was considered an imprisonable offense in Cardinal Newman’s day, and so debased it was referred to as a vice one dare not even name.  To suggest the Cardinal was homosexual in his relationship with Fr. Ambrose is ridiculous.  Radical homosexuals like to suggest Jonathan and King David were gay too, and even Christ and St. John the Beloved.  They make this stuff up.  Below is the Timesonline reaction:

A spokesperson for Catholic Action UK dismissed Mr Tatchell’s claims, saying it was a well-known “trick of homosexual activists” to claim that any close friendship of a person in the past is evidence of homosexuality. “Now Cardinal Newman’s great friendship with Ambrose St John is being slyly suggested as evidence of his being subject to a disordered sexuality. The utter absurdity of this idea speaks for itself.”  - Source
