Maybe it means there is hope for Andrew as well?
Well, I agree with the last seven words, but not the second and third. (c8
In other words, I utterly and without hesitation believe there is hope for Andrew Sullivan, as for all sinners. Paul specifically says that the Corinthian church included people who had been, among other things, homosexuals, before being cleansed, redeemed, and justified by Christ through His work on the Cross (1 Corinthians 6).
This article, however, gives me no hope that Mr. Sullivan is about to avail himself of that freeing grace, however. He does not regard his homosexual behavior as a sin, of which he must repent, for which he must be forgiven, and from which he must be set free. He's proud of his God-defying sin, embraces it, flaunts it, cloaks it in religious language.
No, while W saw his drunken behavior as a sin-pattern from which he needed deliverance, Sullican sees his sexual perversity as a blessing for which he needs acceptance and toleration.
Chasmic difference, there.
