Romans 1:26-27
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

Yeah, I suppose that bishop has a pretty solid grasp on the Bible. Definately no condemnation of homosexuality here! Go for it, fellas, live it up!

It's really a matter of translation :) (you do know that the Bible wasn't written in english... and was revised several times during the middle ages, to fit the requirements better)

and for the other part the Bishop might have been referring to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_and_David
I'm sure you know the story... but read the interpretations :P (I'm a bit too busy these days to go into depths of christian mysticism so wikipedia will have to suffice)

Go to Leviticus - the ancient Jews assigned the death penalty for homosexuality and beastiality.
