Excerpt from this article:
“At the Washington National Cathedral, the Very Rev. Gary Hall announced last Sunday that he had discovered a sin unknown to hundreds of churchmen before him. ‘We must now have the courage to … call homophobia and heterosexism what they are,’ he said. ‘They are sins. Homophobia is a sin. Heterosexism is a sin. Shaming people for whom they love is a sin.’"
Here are 2 podcasts that touch on this very touchy subject (no pun intended!). I call these 2 speakers The Man of Steel (pastor Kevin Swanson) and The Woman of Velvet (college student Pricilla Del Aguila). Both are opposed to homosexuality because they believe - rightly so - that the Bible (and the Bible's Author, God) is opposed to it.
But they take a slightly different perspective on the topic (Hence why I call them The Man of Steel and the Woman of Velvet!)

That absolutely astounding theological and biological conjecture surely raises the question: Why has Dean Hall limited God’s (alleged) alternative sexual creationism to homosexual, bisexual and transsexual?
Why has the Very Rev. Hall neglected to proclaim God’s allegedly and determined creating of advocates of polygamy, polyandry, pedophilia, necrophilia and bestiality?
