    Usually the case - the antier they are, the more I wonder if they are themselves gay, or why would it bother you? Also, hole, lol.

    What's up with that shit?

    Absurdly common for the more outspoken anti gay folks to later be revealed as gay. There's even a term for it, Haggard's Law.

    All homophobes are just trapped in a massive closet.

    And of course it is chance for the pro-LGBTqwerky types so show how tolerant they are; by generalising from the actions of one to the majority of the Church.

    I remember a few years ago or maybe it was more recent but it was revealed that the leader of this massive crue-gay company was in fact gay himself.

    Gay people don't bother me at all and I don't see why certain people seem to want to get so involved in other's business.

    Is anybody surprised at this stage?

    It's not 'qwerky' to be pro-equality. It's quite normal.

    Getting the spoke in early, eh? :)



    These guys have some nerve though, hypocritically hiding in plain sight like that. How on earth do they think they won't be found out?

    I'm not anti-gay. I wish he'd just go and actually 'retire'. With his chirpy little pixie head and his Bono.

    Not sure what bishops have to do with it. Is it an Eamon Casey thing?

    John Paulk? Or there was George Rekers?

    It's been said before that the fight for LGBT equality is between gay people who are out of the closet, and those who are still in the closet. And honestly, I think there has never a truer word spoken.

    I thought this was quite common, what do you call it, overcompensating.

    Dear Manach. You brought up the church, nobody else so much as mentioned 'the' church or a church, never mind making any sort of generalization about it. I searched for the word church in this thread just to make sure I didn't miss something, and your post was the only hit.

    Play martyr much?

    You know, what I think Manach meant there was a jab at the sometimes differing LGBT/LGBTQ acronyms, while at the same time calling for tolerance. Stay classy Manach ;)

    You should be happy for it. Now people are talking about consensual sex with adults

    I love how you skulk around just waiting to drop something regarding religion and teh gays, then slither off in a shot before anybody can challenge you.

    All it does is show how anaemic your argument is if you have to run off and hide if you know your statement will get obliterated.

    But it does anyway, so you might think that because you go before you engage with someone that your post has some sort of credit or merit, it still doesn't, and is still nothing but nonsense.

    Ah yes, Ted Haggard, nutter.

    Strangly enough at around the same time that he was involved in that scandle with the male prostitute he just recently appeared in one of Richard Dawkins Channel 4 documentaries and that's how he came to my attention. Had a good laugh when I heard that he'd been buying meth and rent boys.

    The art in his church should have been a hint. I just thought it was a bit unorthodox, but I'm slow, I suppose.

    True. If I recall correctly, Bryan Fischer - a massive homophobe and bigot with a larger radio platform in the US - gave a very awkward dodge the question type answer when asked if he had very struggled with same sex attractions.

    Whenever I hear the conservative types pound on about how gay is a choice or a lifestyle, I chuckle because to my mind they only way you can really belief that is if you have some attractions you are choosing not to act on.

    For the rest of us, there no issue of a choice because we are only capable of thinking about one sex in that way - even if I wanted to choose a different orientation we couldn't make our dicks/lady parts go along with it.

    So if anybody truly believes gay is a choice, then you have to conclude they are at best/worst (depending how you choose to think about it) bisexuals who are heavily in denial.

    Or more often than not, gay people who are so far into the closet that they convinced themselves that they are capable of being opposite sexy attraction even though they inevitably break down every once in a while and find themselves in a meth induced rent boy orgy or whatever the closet case lesbian equivalent is.

    The catholic church made it all but impossible for any of them to remain celibate if you ask me.

    It must be a nightmare trying not to think of sex when you haven't had it for years, yet they thought it a good idea, that as part of the celebration of mass, they drink some wine and then have the congregation all take turns kneeling before them, with their tongues, waiting to receive.

    I'm just surprised that not one Priest ever turned an innocent Sunday mass into a surprise parish bukakkee.

    How do you know it hasn't happened?
