For years, I have strongly suspected that the pastor of Seattle’s Roman Catholic cathedral (St. James) is gay - he very much looks the part, and he has tolerated openly gay - and newly elected mayor - Ed Murray to receive communion for many years.

I know several gays and none of them "looks the part"...what the hell does that mean????and the openly gay mayor is certainly welcome at communion because you have no idea of what actions he is involved in ......being gay is not a sin, an active homosexual relationship, of course, is.

"I know several gays and none of them "looks the part"...what the hell does that mean????and the openly gay mayor is certainly welcome at communion because you have no idea of what actions he is involved in ......being gay is not a sin, an active homosexual relationship, of course, is."

The mayor - Ed Murray - is openly married to a man. There was a picture of them on the front page of the local newspaper. I consider that to be an active homosexual relationship. You don't?

As for your other point, I am well aware that there are several styles of gayness. Some are stereotypical, some are not. My comment about the pastor was prompted by many years of observing what has been going on at the cathedral, including administration of communion to known practicing homosexuals. My comment that "he looks the part" was an unfortunate oversimplification of my observations. The recent events at nearby Eastside Catholic High School have done nothing but confirm my impression of widespread gay infiltration into church organizations in the Seattle area.

Identifying a man as a homosexual is not exactly a rare bit of awareness, many of us can read people well enough to spot homosexuals.
