Burn!  »  Queerty
Washed up pop star and avowed homosexual Pete Burns ain’t down with gay marriage: “I think two men naturally are predators. Gay relationships are a commercial break, not a whole movie. …It’s as though there’s some kind of emotional inadequacy or narcissism, where they feel emotionally inadequate and need more validation, from either a father figure or a mirror image of themselves. I’m not condemning it, I think it needs researching and help.” Um, look in the mirror, babe. [Joe.My.God] ...

Methodists attend gay union ceremony near church convention  »  gay blog
More than 200 Methodists attended a lesbian couple's commitment ceremony Friday in defiance of a vote to uphold a church law that says gay relationships are "incompatible with Christian teaching." The ceremony was at a park across from the Fort Worth Convention Center, where some 3,000 people are meeting for the United Methodist Church's general conference. It is held every four years to set church policy. Methodists this week rejected replacing a sentence in its Book of Discipline — which says the church "does not condone the practice of homosexuality" — with other phrases, including one saying Christians differ ...
