Head of Episcopal Church Calls Homosexuality 'A Gift'

While Pope Benedict thinks of the gays as dangerous bushwhackers destroying the rainforest of heterosexuality and Rev. Rick Warren defends his homophobia by saying he's actually met some honest-to-goodness homosexuals in his life, Katharine Jefferts Schori, the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church told the Washington Post over the weekend that homosexuality "Is a reality of creation, not just the human species! For some people to say it's against the order of creation, it's a very interesting comment - it doesn't accord with what we can observe in nature" and then called homosexuality "a gift."

Note to Barack Obama: Jefferts Schori lives in D.C. She's available for any upcoming events you might need a priest at.

I am a proud cradle Episcopalian, by the way, so just had to share this!

I don't even know what a cradle Episcopalian is, but sounds nurturing and comfortable!

I have to say, I always bristle when I hear well-intentioned people who are arguing the nature vs nurture pointasking "Who would choose to be gay in a world filled with such horrible discrimination and violence against them?" Me for one! It is, to coin a word, fabulous!
