Gay.com: The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), bitterly divided over sexuality and the Bible, set up another confrontation Friday over its ban on ordaining noncelibate gay men and lesbians.
The denomination’s General Assembly, meeting in San Jose, Calif., voted 54 percent to 46 percent Friday to drop the requirement that would-be ministers, deacons and elders live in “fidelity within the covenant of marriage between and a man and a woman, or chastity in singleness.”
These people are just sheer comedy.

TowleRoad: Yesterday TowleRoad.com posted an update on Northern Ireland DUP MP Iris Robinson, the UK’s very own Sally Kern, who said that gays can be cured of their homosexuality and advised them to seek therapy.
The remarks prompted political party Sinn Fein to call for her resignation and for the activist group Outrage! to call on people to start outing members of Robinson’s Democratic Unionist party. Like Kern, she seems to wallow in the attention her bigotry brings her. Robinson is now comparing gay people to murderers!

Reuters: The openly gay U.S. Episcopal bishop at the center of the Anglican church’s global battle over homosexuality, has entered into a civil union with his longtime partner at a private ceremony.
About 120 guests gathered at St. Paul’s Church in New Hampshire for Saturday’s ceremony for Bishop Gene Robinson and his partner of more than 19 years, Mark Andrew. The event was kept private out of respect for next month’s worldwide Anglican conference, Robinson’s spokesman, Mike Barwell, said on Sunday.
Telegraph: Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly homosexual Anglican bishop, is about to “marry” his partner, further inflaming tensions in the church ahead of a series of critical meetings this summer.
The bishop, whose appointment has driven the worldwide church to the brink of collapse, is to have a civil union with his partner of 20 years, Mark Andrew.
They will have a private ceremony carried out by a lawyer in front of family and friends on Saturday, followed by a service of celebration in a church nearby in New Hampshire, northeast USA.
Bishop Robinson, who recently claimed he had always wanted to be a “June bride”, said: “We’re very excited about it. It won’t look like a wedding, but it will be wonderful.”
