"Gay people should "reorientate" themselves by seeking psychiatric help, the bishop of Chester said yesterday, reigniting the furious row about attitudes to homosexuality within the Church of England"
"Alan Wardle, a spokesman for the gay rights group Stonewall, reacted angrily to Dr Forster's remarks. "Homosexuality was declassified as a medical condition more than 30 years ago," he said. "I'd prefer the bishop should stick to sorting out the problems in his own church." "
The Church of England's, and the Vatican's, recent ignorance and hatred have all made me want to start doing stuff for Stonewall again.

*goes off to seek psychiatric help*
Grrr...load of crap,
I'm bisexual what do they have to say about me then?
Most of Christianity has serious problems even trying to *think* about anything that doesn't conform to St. Paul's ordained heterosexual nuclear family with a dominant male and submissive housewife...
Oh... the typical things are that lesbianism is caused by liberalism, by feminism and by perversion and immorality.
The scary thing is that in the USA you can actually find fundamentalist psychiatrists who try everything from shock therapy to exorcism to try and turn non-straight people into life-hating Christians. The world is messed up... the more bisexuals, the better!
Hang on I'm far too busy writing this, according to our beloved theist friends we should both be busy converting young children to feminism and perversity!
It's hypocritical that they spent so much time condemning gays and can't lift a pen to condemn the paedophile rapists that are instutionalized into the very same Church!
Ignorance indeed.
Claiming to be "the light", at the center of most churches is a little remnant of the dark ages!
I'd comment more, but I need to go for my sexuality therapy and demon exorcism now. :p
There were some fundies at my uni who used to picket any of the LGB Society events.
Enjoy the session :-0
