Gay prize for bishop and MP
A Lutheran bishop is to receive the “Salmon of the Year” prize and Socialist People’s Party Minister for Equality, Kamal Qureshi, is to get “Politician of the Year” from the Danish Homosexual and Lesbian Association. Bishop Kjeld Holm of Århus is to receive the prize for having supported the idea of gay couples marrying in a proper church ceremony, something that is not allowed by Danish law today. Last year, the Salmon prize was awarded to Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen for speaking out in favour of gay marriages in church. Qureshi’s prize is in recognition of his efforts to make numerous law change proposals and arrange events which highlight discrimination against gay people.
Lessee...something's fishy...a fish rots from the head... something's rotten in the state of Denmark...
Luther certainly wouldn't be PC regarding this unholy mess, and as much as he protested against people calling themselves Lutherans when he was alive, imagine how he'd feel now.
