Anyone else think... 15 Years, 9 Months ago  
"the world's first openly gay bishop" (notice the way they ALWAYS use the word openly) looks terribly like Jeffrey Archer?

In this context, the word 'openly' is relevant - as many gay bishops are not 'open' about it.

In a tabloid world, those in positions like Bishops etc, when not "open" are "outed", where possible.
These days, one wonders which stigma is worse.

Mart. Do you mean - between 'gay and open' and 'gay and outed' ? Surely the latter is the worst stigma as the former denotes honesty and principle.

What on earth motivates a gay person to buy into a religion whose holy book explicitly describes them as an abomination, let alone become senior clergy?

Not that I want to bash the bishop, you understand.

It seems to me that the sexuality of Bishops is guarded almost as closely as that of Hollywood A-list stars.
Don't quite know what this says about the strange world we live in !!

Anthony - you are spot on there and thanks for raising the point.

If both Christianity and Islam condemn homosexuality (or the far better bisexuality) fuck 'em, I reckon.
