I understand that in the past pink was the male colour (according to QI). I don't know when it turned blue.

Man with hair in bun and long frock criticises others' dress for being effeminate? Ok, he's got a beard, but so has Conchita Wurst.
Still, if he thinks (Association) football is gay, thank goodness he's never seen the positions men get into in a rugby scrum, or the short shorts and sleeveless jerseys of Australian Rules.
--------------------
My beard is a testament to my masculinity and virility, and demonstrates that I am a real man. Trouble is, bits of quiche sometimes get caught in it.

Reminds me of the point someone made on Facebook just after Eurovision about the Russian Orthodox Church: " 'We don't like men with beards in dresses', say....er....men with beards in dresses."

Real Men are not defined by what they wear.
In other news, someone is objecting to being asked to bake a 'gay cake' on the grounds that doing so will violate their Christian business ethic.
I must have missed that memo. I thought Christian business ethics were about dealing honestly with your clients, charging a fair price, delivering the goods when you say you will, and so on. Is the clause about not working for gays buried somewhere in the small print?

Actually, that one's a bit interesting. We've had a couple of cases in the US recently (cake for gay wedding, photographer for gay wedding) where the businessfolk have claimed that their rights are being violated by forcing them to "endorse" gay marriage, and the courts held that photographing a gay wedding did not imply making a statement in favour of the existence of gay marriage.
In this case, however, the cake is explicitly political speech - it's a cake saying "support gay rights" for a gay rights organization.
This isn't asking whether your Christian business can refuse to serve Muslims, it's asking whether your Christian business can refuse to print pamphlets denying the divinity of Christ.

There's an entire open thread for that Leorning Cniht here
So please use it for any discussion of businesses claiming they have a right not to serve LGBT people.
Thanks!

Just as well they haven't met this guy. Long hair, tights (or their historical equivalent) and a beard... their heads would explode.
And he definitely wasn't gay. Au contraire, as the French would say.

Moving on to a theologian: backstory: Burger King, in San Francisco, during Pride Week, marketed a "Pride Sandwich": a regular Whopper, but sold in a rainbow-ornamented envelope, with the phrase "Because, on the inside, we're all the same" printed on the envelope. Well...duh! especially in that city.
As a result, theologian John Piper has shown his total lack of Second-Great-Commandment-recall by excommunicating Burger King and their sandwiches
One also notes that Tyler Perry, who seems to be something-or-other in the Christian industry, has trade-marked the phrase "WWJD", although he graciously will continue to allow the free usage of the name "Jesus" (continuation of same article)
Does it always have to be the total dingbats who get news coverage. Has Hemant Mehta infiltrated his minions quietly into all the news services? Or do the Christians feel compelled to do it all themselves?

Yeah, me too. He's a fuckwit cuz he sez this shit, but I'm inclined to cut him some slack.
I'm of a certain age and any time I see one of these things on a man, the eight-year-old in me mutters, dresses like a fag. Then my adult filter interposes itself between my reptile brain and my lips.- ankle socks
- the color pink
- hair in bun
- t-shirt with a scooped front
- depilation anywhere on the body
- plucked eyebrows (deserves special mention)
- any sort of make up
- use of skin moisterizer
- loafers without socks
- sweater draped over the shoulders
- yellow sweaters (fuck it, any pastel color)
- the thin line of beard current known as a chin strap
- any styled beard
- more than one finger ring
- a gold chain (unless he's Italian, and even then…)
- pierced ear (hell, pierced anything)
- any ear ring or toe ring
- any sort of leather, unless it's a shoe, belt, or coat (and even the coat can get you in trouble)
I could go on and on, but you get the idea. You see the benighted time and place that spawned me. And, let's not even start on suspect behavior.
So yeah, that photo of the multi-colored shoes looks pretty faggy to me. Being Oriented-time-three and acknowledging my place in the late-20th century and early-21st century, I don't say these things out loud and I bemoan myself for thinking them.

Rugby, TSA? Really?! Don't get me wrong - there certainly are gay rugby players, and I think we're about to host the Bingham Cup again, but you automatically think of rugby players as "faggot"-like? Blimey.

For me it's probably wishful thinking. Rough trade and all that.

In my mis-spent youth there were only three television channels and the newspaper photographs were always black and white. This is what made the color magazines so intensely interesting.
So, big men dressed in tight short pants clutching and grabbing each other with the occasional wardrobe malfunction naturally drew the tempestuously sexual adolescent mind to sex. With no women present, it's easy to do the rest of the calculus.
Plus, with all the native team sports (baseball, football, basketball, hockey, lacrosse) set up to sublimate the omnisexual adolescent mind away from homosex, rugby was just an exotic outlier easy to demonize. I'm not claiming my experience is universally American, but it was uniform in my single-city urban/suburban childhood and youth.

I second this emotion. Mousethief is a sort of ambassador to less close-minded Orthodox.

I've thought a bit more about the priest in the OP (yes, I know, I'm hard of thinking and it takes a while). The homophobia which qualifies it for the thread is almost in passing; it could be swapped out for another insult, leaving the main issue well alone. Which is - a primary-school playground pout about lost sporting prestige.
My team lost - but it wasn't a real competition anyway because all the other teams were gay / girls / nerdy / smelly / speccy-4-eyes.
My nine-yr-old's skin would crawl if she were overheard by an adult saying this shite. In fact I think her skin would crawl if she read it.

Except for the church-approved anti-gay laws that are making life miserable if not downright terminal for gays in Russia right now.
