hurrah and huzzah! the first openly gay bishop of the Episcopal / Anglican Catholic church, the Rev. Gene Robinson, a gay man in a 13-year long committed relationship, was elected this Tuesday! efforts by opponents to prevent this by way of seemingly insincere allegations of sexual harrassment failed, demonstrating the increasingly impotence of appeals to bigotted stereotyping of queers as predatory yes, Virginia, there ~are~ Christian faiths who align with Christ yeah! - everett P.S. (on a sad note, there were a number of people who want the majority of Episcopalians/Anglican Catholics to rise up against this acceptance of an openly gay bishop, as though Christ's openness could be vetoed by majority rule whenever it refuses to rationalize irrational opposition to queers, and some groups threatened to separate from the Anglican Church, a very UN-Anglican threat to make -- just as their opposition to Christian queers is UN-Christian) ===== ~ solvitur ambulando ~ "The problem is solved in the walking."
