Mike Piazza, The Pastor: I'm Gay

DALLAS (Wireless Flash) -- New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza vehemently denies rumors he's gay, but a reverend also named Mike Piazza is outing himself.

This Mike Piazza is a 46-year-old pastor in Dallas, who has been with the gay and lesbian church Cathedral of Hope for 15 years.

Piazza says he doesn't know if his notoriety started the rumors for the baseball player but he feels compelled to set his own sexuality straight because baseball player Piazza's statements have people assuming Pastor Piazza is straight too.

Most recently, the pastor says while boarding a plane in Savannah, Georgia, the ticket agent looked at his ID and jokingly said, "I'm sure glad you aren't gay," to which he responded, "But I am."

He says the ticket agent responded with disbelief, "Yeah right," which is why Reverend P. is telling the world "Mike Piazza is gay."

Does the Rev "pitch" or "catch"? I'm betting on the latter.

He really is confused. Not only is his name Mike Piazza, but he is also a catcher. It doesn't sound as if he wants to really "set his own sexuality straight."

If you were from out of town and read the Dallas Morning News, you would think that Cathedral of Hope was the only church in Dallas.

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Now that you mention it, he looks like a chutney ferret.

I don't mean homosexual, fairy, or raging queen: though obviously he is. I mean chutney ferret.

Re: #12.

"Mendacity. What do you know about mendacity? I could write a book on it...Mendacity. Look at all the lies that I got to put up with. Pretenses. Hypocrisy. Pretendin' like I care for Big Mama, I haven't been able to stand that woman in forty years. Church! It bores me. But I go. And all those swindlin' lodges and social clubs and money-grabbin' auxiliaries. It's-it's got me on the number one sucker list. Boy, I've lived with mendacity. Now why can't you live with it? You've got to live with it. There's nothin' to live with but mendacity. Is there?"---Big Daddy, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

In honor of the mendacious Mike Piazza.
