York should read the Bible

I have just heard the Archbishop of York say on the BBC Sunday programme that he has no Biblical basis to describe homosexual acts as evil. Has he read the Bible? Does he need new spectacles? St Paul wrote about seeing through a glass darkly. But Sentanmu does not see it at all. He can condemn Mugabe but not sodomy. Oh yes. He lives a long way from Zimbabwe now, in a communion that welcome perversion. To any reading this who think I am what you call a homophobe. I have no hatred of homosexuals, only abhorence of certain sexual acts. I can separate the two though you will not. In fact I do not even want to call you homosexual, merely homosexualist like the archbishop. i.e. one who is happy with homosexuality.

'It would encourage clear thinking on these matters if persons were not characterised as heterosexual or homosexual, but as individuals who have had certain amounts of heterosexual experience or homosexual experience. Instead of using these terms as substantives which stand for persons, or even as adjectives to describe persons, they may be better be used to describe the nature of the overt sexual relations, or of the stimuli to which an individual erotically responds.'
Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male Kinsey et al 1948 p617

Kinsey got something right after all.
