Oh, you're so wrong. They're going to promote "inclusiveness" and "democracy" and "progressiveness" no matter what.

The people they've offended are just supposed to put up with it and be "tolerant".

I am already hearing that the Anglican Church in South Africa (17 million strong) are planning to break from the Episcopal Church of the United States.

You know, I'm having a very hard time with this. Gays have had my tolerance and acceptance. They've had my friendship as well. I have had gay friends since high school. Still have some today (those who haven't died). And God help me, I am so angry at them now I will have to avoid seeing them. Even though they had nothing to do with this and are probably almost as shocked as I.

Because if I saw so much as the tiniest flicker of a satisfied smile on one of their faces, I would want to remove it physically.

If they're going to identify as a group, and seek group rights, they'd better be prepared for group condemnation. Radicals have finally destroyed my church this week; there's no other conclusion to reach. Any of my friends who see this as a positive development, or try to benefit from it, are dancing on its grave and are no better than its murderers.

And they can all go to hell.
