It’s time for the game that has become an international sensation. Where’s Robbie? Where the heck is wacky homosexual Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, who is both a homosexual and the Bishop of the Diocese of Someplace-Or-Other-It’s-On-The-Tip-Of-Our-Tongues-Don’t-Tell-Us, this week?
The rules couldn’t be simpler. Guess before you start reading. And you must be specific. “Nowhere near New Hampshire” is not an acceptable answer:
The assisting bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande asked Bishop Gene Robinson of As-If-Anybody-Gives-A-Crap-Anymore to reconsider his decision to participate in Santa Fe’s Gay Pride Parade on June 26.
Robinson is the first openly gay, noncelibate priest to be ordained a bishop in the Episcopal Church.
In a telephone interview, Robinson said that he heard from the retired Rev. William C. Frey, the assisting bishop, as well as some members of the diocese, who cautioned him against appearing in the June 26 parade as the honorary grand marshal.
“He’s of a mind, as many good people are, that participation in such a parade means that you condone and approve of every person that’s in the parade — the way every person is dressed, the way every person acts. I understand that, but I’m there to proclaim God’s love for all of God’s children.”
Content slightly edited. In other words, screw collegiality. Which, when you think about it, is probably the wrong way to phrase that.
Robinson said he also heard from several people thanking him for agreeing to be in the parade.
Like this poser.
The Rev. Dr. Richard Murphy, who is hosting Robinson at St. Bede’s Episcopal Church (with HaMakom), said he disagrees with those who say church leaders should not participate in the parade. He and his wife, Carol, have marched in the parade in the past. “I’ve worn my clerical collar and will do so this year. It is a place where the church should be present. Jesus stood with those on the margins, those who are so often disenfranchised from society’s mainstream. We are called to be imitators of Jesus,” he said.
Remember this? Do you know the real reason why that woman was crying and kissing Jesus’ feet? Because contrary to the Biblical text(an obvious later revision by bigots and homophobes), Jesus had, in fact, told that woman that she could keep right on sinning. Indeed, she wasn’t sinning enough.
Saturday’s Gay Pride Parade had two grand marshals — the official one and an honorary one.
Donald Stout, a founder of the Santa Fe Human Rights Alliance and a parade organizer for seven years, was the real one.
And Gene Robinson, an Episcopal bishop from Seriously-Why-Do-You-Bigots-Keep-Bringing-Up-That-Irrelevant-Crap, served as the honorary grand marshal.
Robinson helped lead the parade Saturday against the advice of the assisting bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande. The parade was one of a number of events at which Robinson, the first openly gay, noncelibate priest ordained a bishop in the Episcopal Church, appeared in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. He said he wanted to participate to “proclaim God’s love for all of God’s children.”
Content slightly edited. VERY next paragraph.
Then there was Tyler McCormick, the first female-to-male transgender person to win the International Mr. Leather competition. McCormick, of Albuquerque, took home the title at the 32nd annual event in Chicago last month.
Congratulations there, T. I don’t know what winning involves and I don’t want to know. Robbie? Count on the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence dropping a serious lawsuit on your ass one of these days. Why care about homosexuals who dress up like nuns to piss off normal people when you’ve got actual ordained Episcopal “clergymen” ready, willing and enthusiastic to do it themselves?
Mad props to Greg Griffith.
