Either this fool knows nothing about the Episcopal church and the goings-on there for the last forty years, or he chooses to ignore all that and pretend it's just about hating queers so he has an excuse to throw a hissy fit.

Reminds of the years I lived in New York. It was common wisdom that you don't look the loonies in the eyes when you encounter them on the subway.
