New Ways Ministry began publishing a “gay-friendly” parish list 20 years ago and had 33 parishes from 14 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, according to its blog. Now it has a robust representation with “well over 200 parishes listed.” The inaugural “gay-friendly” parish list also contained seven colleges “whose Catholic student communities were known to be gay-friendly.” Today, that college list is separate and has more than 100 schools.
