I will include the (full) quote that I assume you are referring to:

Certainly no reference to hate there anywhere...
The fact that someone is a priest, a rabbi or the pope has nothing to do with it. In my opinion someone in such a position of power over others must take the responsibilty themselves to choose their own words carefully.
And the point is that all of the comments I quoted are negative about gay people wearing kilts- why?! It makes no bloody difference. Why is that so hard to swallow?
Saxandpipes,
Please do not use my posts as examples of hate towards the homosexual community. I explained myself and I thought we had reached an understanding. PM sent as this is not the place for the more in depth response I have concerning your recent posts.
Best wishes,
Hugh
P.S. I am not a priest, rabbi, or anything of the sort. Just a man who doesn't like Glee for reasons that have nothing to do with homosexuality and happens to be a Christian.
P.S.S. I hate that American Idol show too. (;0P

biblemonkey, I think Semiomniscient was referring to Zardoz as ULC minister and saxandpipes misunderstood who was being discussed, though as you know, Nighthawk is also a minister (pagan) who was quoted in saxandpipes post in question.

I, along with others are accused of being homophobic in a post on this forum. Saxandpipes quotes one line from my earlier post out of context to support his agenda.
Anyone who knows me or reads my posts on this forum knows I am in no way anti-gay! I recently posted photos from a huge invitation only Mardi Gras ball where my wife and I are some of the few straight attendees. Hell, as a ULC minister, I presided over a same sex handfasting a couple weeks ago!
I do not like having my name and an out of context quote being painted with someone's broad brush of bigotry in a post that remains on the forum for members and lurkers to see.
Hope that untangles the discussion a little.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
