Don't know if i'm just being thick, but it strikes me that he can't be very serious about his bible -studies, as i believe it strictly rules against "man lying with man".....or is this yet another case of religious zealots who choose a "pick 'n mix attitude to religion. (a truly preposterous concept, there either "is" or "isn't" a superior being, it's not negotiable, and anyone purporting to have, or had, a direct audience with the diety, is delusiory, not to say conceited and arrogant.
If he want's to be openly "gay" that's his perogative,so is the ribbing that comes with it.
I had the "misfortune" (see what I mean?) to be Essex -Born...Despite living over half my life in this Northern enclave of sheep-lovers, i'm still a "cockney" comer-in.....If it worried me, I'd have been long-gone.
I smell vexatious litigation to make a few bob...award "precious" 50 P and the costs of the case.
