I thinks its pretty pathetic that we should live in a world where equal oppurtunities cant be offered even by religion. The fact he is gay does not make him any better or worse then if he was not gay. I cant see the problem of appointing him.
A further quote is "If the church has the authority to bless homosexuality . . . then why not polygamy?" One of the main stirrers of this controversy is the Anglican Archbishop of Nigeria. I believe that polygamy is still a common occurrence in Nigeria. Would anyone care to supply some quotes from the Archbishop of Nigeria condemning polygamy in the same terms as he has comdemned homosexuality?
