http://beinggaybeingchristian.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, 23 November 2012. Abomination - You shall not lie with a man. Here is an interview I did on New Zealand breakfast television in October 2012. The show is called Good Morning and my interviewer is Rod Cheeseman. I wasn't sure what he was going to ask, but among other great questions he surprised me by asking about one of the sledgehammer scriptures from Leviticus in the Bible. You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman: it is abomination. Leviticus 18: 22 King James Version). I did some intervi...

Getting the church talking about the 'elephant in the room'. I’m on the bridge Support for Same-Sex Marriage from within the Church. The post I wrote last week about marriage equality. Was partly brought about by the movie Selma. He himself witnessed in racism and bigotry. During the civil rights battle in the sixties. The movie depicts the first march, often referred to as Bloody Sunday. Which had 525 black protesters. From a reporter on the scene it makes for horrific reading. Here’s a potted history: ...

Thursday, 16 May 2013. Today is IDAHO day - International Day Against Homophobia 17 May. Last year on this day, I wrote an extensive piece on my thoughts about homophobia: its relationship to patriarchy, sexism and misogyny and a personal anecdote to explain that we none of us are immune from its hateful clutches. You can still read the post on the BGBC Blog). This year I want to write about two other points about homophobia. It all comes down to respect". Australian anti-homophobia television commercial.

Sunday, 27 January 2013. Queers and Religion - Bent tv. A few months after BGBC was published in 2012, I went to Melbourne to do some media work around the book. One of the interesting gigs I got to do was appearing on Bent tv which did a special episode on LGBT people and religion. Bent tv is Melbourne's queer television station. You can watch the episode here or click on the YouTube icon and watch full-screen. I hope you enjoy it. And do share it around if you think it will help others you know. Queers...

Saturday, 26 April 2014. Celibacy Pt 2 - An Outdated and Failed Experiment. Easily the most read post on the BGBC Blog has been that which I published on 12 March 2012: Celibacy For Gays – A Deconstruction. It has had, on average, sixty views every month since its publication just over two years ago. It has been read on every continent in the world and in so many different countries that it has surprised even me by the interest it has generated. Declaring that such a rule is what God wants;.

Friday, 16 May 2014. Brisbane's Storey Bridge 17 May 2014. In 2014, I would just like to bring a few thoughts together from general LGBTI issues and say something that is pertinent to IDAHOT Day. Getty Image - Huff Post. One of the most hurtful things that homophobia does is to declare that gay people are offensive. Some of these people use religious grounds (and I have dealt with that thoroughly in other posts), while others don’t use religious language but are just as deeply offended. When you read or ...

Being Gay Being Christian: August 2012
http://beinggaybeingchristian.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, 11 August 2012. A Letter To James: Fathers and Their Gay Sons. 65279;. To be a separation and a distinction between father and son. It is the psychological journey of adolescence. Now it's pretty obvious to all that this stuff is gendered. It is masculine to be this way. It is not masculine to be different from this. In fact, it is considered feminine or girly not to demonstrate these so-called manly qualities. And softness is something a real man must. So, dads, how about it?

Thursday, 20 March 2014. A Portrait of Hate: Fred Phelps 1929-2014. Well Fred Phelps is dead. He was born in 1929, so he made 84. How did it come to this? Phelps was not a stupid man. He had graduated from law school. He was also given to obsessiveness and retribution for perceived hurt. He had worked as a lawyer in his earlier career, but presaging the turmoil that would surround his adult life, he was disbarred in 1977 in telling circumstances. The Wikipedia entry for his disbarment states:. Matched hi...
