It’s the old, old story. We don’t mind – well some of us don’t mind – if you’re gay, but . . .
Yes, there’s always bullshit before the but, isn’t there?
In this case, it’s the possibility that the good ol’ Church of England may allow gay clergy to become bishops. But there’s a catch.
And the catch is . . .? You’ve guessed it.
You can’t have nookie.
Once again, men in frocks seem to think they know the mind of God – even know that there is a God – and pronounce on what other men in frocks should do with their wiggly things.
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.
Note: only a member of this blog may post a comment.
Oddly, some might think, but it seems that the Church of Scotland has been sort of leading the way on this sort of thing.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you should run a pole on who the next Archbishop of Canterbury should be. Peter Tatchell?
