A homosexual activist group plan to throw ashes at Pope Benedict during his visit to the United States next month.The Rainbow Sash Movement protest is in response to the Pope's anti-homosexual behaviour.
The group says that "ashes are an ancient and appropriate greeting for a sinner who has caused the Church so much division and pain."
"We will also be greeting him with whistles, these were used by the Polish people to show shame for the violation of human rights by the Communist Government prior to the end of the cold war," the group said in a statement.
"We are a community of Catholic Gays, Lesbians, Bi-sexuals and Transgender along with our allies who work for change in the Church.
"To continue to hide our identity only enables shame and homophobia. We are committed to working from within the Church," the statement continued.
