Dear Friends:
If I were a minister who'd just spent an evening teaching on "The Sin of
Homophobia" in a widely-advertised local lecture, I think I might have
refrained from publishing a not-very-funny or well-designed homophobic joke
in my magazine--unless I wanted to appear both hypocritical and homophobic
at the same time.
Doug Wilson, in the latest *Credenda Agenda:*
"The reason Episcopalians can’t play chess any more is that they have
forgotten the difference between a bishop and a queen."
Oooh. My side. It's splitting. There's just nothin' funnier than calling
clergy members by degrading and homophobic names. And since Episcopalians
are so well known for playing chess, it's a particularly apposite joke, too.
Homophobia--it's a sin, unless you can get a cheap laugh with it.
