Nobody has said anything about 'gay bashing'.
Whereas I'd stop short of calling that harrassment, I'd agree that it's certainly unhelpful behaviour. Victims of gay-hate crime may well open up more (  ) to a like-minded officer.
No-one has ever suggested they are perfect.
Absolutely - however they leave themselves wide open to accusations of hypocrasy and pandering to the pc-brigade. Whether or not this bothers them is another matter of course.
I don't want to make a habit of this but again I agree with Graham 
I think in your haste to take sides against the religious group in this story, you may have chosen the wrong wording - a group which stands up for what it believes is hardly hypocritical. Allowing gays in to their ranks then speak out against them, now that would be hypocritical. |
The hyposcray I stated comes from this - I thought Christianity was all about forgiveness and tolerance. With reference to their stance on gays, I see neither.

When it suits, eh?
