This morning I listened on the radio to portions of yesterday's hearings in the Wisconsin legislature on the same-gender marriage/Civil Union ban. It was a sad day.
Worse still, the Pope's most recent pronouncements on homosexuality bode ill for the future of all LGBT Christians. This is a link to an excellent article (aptly titled "Gland Inquisitor") providing an analysis of the development of the recently announced policy on gay priests and how this reflects the Pope's view of homosexuality.
I need to write more about this, but I offer a quick response here. The Pope's view is deeply grounded in a profound heterosexism. The pope seems to suggest that homosexuals are so sub-human that they can offer no positive value to society at all. Any form of discrimination is justified in order to limit the harm that this "disorder" can do to society.
More comment on this in the near future.

Hi Steven.
This comment has nothing to do with the post attached, but I tried to e-mail you and got an error message in reply.
Anyway, one of my jobs in the Methodist blogosphere is to write biographical profiles of Methodist bloggers. Here are a couple of examples:
Beth Quick
Josh Tinley
There are about 45 Methodist Blogger Profiles so far. I'd like to write the next one about you.
If you're interested, please e-mail me at locustsandhoney2005 at yahoo dot com.
