Comments on: Homophobic 'tattoo' vicar claims he was attacking "promoters of gay culture" http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-9229.html/ PinkNews.co.uk Gay News (UK and world) from Pink News - all the gay news for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community in the UK and beyond- thegaynews from Pink News Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:21:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Steve http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-9229.html/comment-page-1/#comment-36036 Steve Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:21:10 +0000 http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=9229#comment-36036 Again, these sorts of comments from the religious institution are a direct result of the stereotypes that are in existance. As gay people we must create realistic images. Also it must be remembered that all sexual practices enjoyed by gay people are enjoyed by heterosexuals. Why do people put sexuality onto a pedestal and see it as something so precious? But we are really finding out about the hypocrisy of institutions now. they seem more interested in the institution than the spirit of the people.

I suspect the CofE might have had their email address hammered... hence the next day morning apology from the vicar in charge of the City, yep the same City that is in the process of delivering economic meltdown.

It's not even about gay vs str8, it's irresponsible idiots vs humanitarians or evil vs good. I'm not gay but I hate biggots, if I am ever near to his church I will pay this plum and his congregation a visit. Homophobia is gay, god is great.
