Christian Concerns Andrea Minichiello Williams, has got it about right, when she said;

/// "Neither he nor any faithful Christian is homophobic. Stonewall's attack on him reveals their contempt and brazen attitude to those who will not capitulate to their agenda." ///

As already pointed out, Stonewall are their own worse enemy.

Nor can he use the shield of his religion to deflect the charge. We are all responsible for our words and actions.

LazyGun, I agree with your point entirely, but I suspect he will say that he is preaching "The Word of God".

John Mason, an SNP MSP who is opposed to same-sex marriage, called for both sides in the debate to use more balanced language rather than attempting to "wind up the other side and upset the other side to get a erection how things change

If the Christian church is full of bigots why do so many gay people want to get married in a church?

[Duncer]

It's almot the reverse of the old Marx line about not wanting to belong to any club that would have him as a member.

I suspect they want to get married there precisely because the church doesn't want them. I've tried to imagine if it would bother me were I in that position, but it's hard to do so when I am not. I suspect I would be happy with a civil partnership for the legal side of things, but my sheer bloody mindedness would probably make me want to take them on.
