Homophobia

I came across this in an online UK news article.


As The Sunday Telegraph disclosed, the Bishop of Rochester, Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, called on homosexuals to repent. He said the Church of England must stick to the Biblical teaching that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.

“We want to hold on to the traditional teaching of the Church. We don’t want to be rolled over by culture and trends in the Church,” said the bishop, one of the most senior religious figures in England.

In response, Peter Tatchell, the veteran gay rights campaigner, said last night: “Homophobia is a social and moral evil, just like racism. Bigotry, even in the guise of religion, has no place in a compassionate, caring society."

“I call on the Bishop to repent his homophobia. His prejudice goes against Christ’s gospel of love and compassion.”


I like the last lines.


Anywho, the full article was over the Queen angering gay campaigners. You can read it HERE.
