A new organisation of lunatic bigots gets under way today, after its leading light said gay people should “repent and be changed”.
This is arch homophobe Michael Nazir-Ali, Bishop of Rochester, UK.
Change into what? A nice skimpy low-cut number with sequins? And repent for what? For not keeping you out of the country when you immigrated here from Pakistan?
Nazir-Ali spoke as tens of thousands of people, including Sarah Brown, the Prime Minister’s wife, joined the annual Gay Pride march in London.
A new coalition of evangelical and Anglo-Catholic bigots today begins the Devil’s work of hating poofs. Sorry, they love the sinner, don’t they, and hate the sin? I was forgetting. Since within this context the result is the same, it hardly matters.
This is what this disturbed individual tells the Sunday Telegraph in the story linked to above:
“We want to uphold the traditional teaching of the Bible. We believe that God has revealed his purpose about how we are made.”
And how do you know? You can’t possibly prove it. But I interrupted you. Do continue, you blithering loon.
“People who depart from this don’t share the same faith. They are acting in a way that is not normative according to what God has revealed in the Bible.”
God revealed nothing. It was all made up. But do continue, you raving twassock.
“The Bible’s teaching shows that marriage is between a man and a woman. That is the way to express our sexual nature.”
Bollocks!
“We welcome homosexuals, we don’t want to exclude people, but we want them to repent and be changed.”
Oh, go to hell, you bloody waste of space!
gay and lesbian matters, rationalism, atheism, freethought, secularism — this is the weblog of the Pink Triangle Trust, the only gay humanist charity

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.

Did you know that "Nazir-Ali" is an anagram of "Nazi Liar"?
ReplyDeleteNazir-Ali is a nasty piece of work, but if you follow his increasingly bizarre behaviour closely you might wonder if it's because he knows that his career as a senior Anglican has been over for several years.
ReplyDeleteHe was the traditionalist candidate for the Arch of Cant post and lost out to the Stanley Unwin impersonator, Williams. Since then he has nowhere to go and knows it. Can't kiss & make up with Williams, can't ruin his reputation as a 'thinker' by throwing his lot in with Sentamu & the happy clappies.
So, being an arrogant sod, he has to get his fix of adulation from any two village idiots and a mutt church outfit still dim enough to give it. Closet nazis & homophobes? Not much of a fan club, is it?
