Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am...applying for jobs. I'm way tired of this unemployment shit.

Looks like Gene Robinson, openly gay Episcopal bishop, will be delivering an invocation at the innauguration.

(Btw, I think the article is wrong in saying he is the first ordained openly gay PRIEST in a major denomination -- but I could be wrong. He is definatley the first openly gay bishop, however.)

I've met him. He lead a workshop at my then-church and we spoke for a while afterwards. He is a remarkable man.

Are you quibbling with the use of the word, Priest, Trudy, or that he was the first? Because the Episcopalians do call their minister's Priests. Esp. The High Anglicans, who are sometimes more Catholic than the Pope.

Always Anti-fascist!

I read Gene Robinson and my brain fills in Washington Post. For half a second, I was like "talk about multifaceted!" But I'm a moron(With a name that people don't just have that many of.) Still, D'oh!

I'm familiar with the terms. What I'm trying to say (apparently badly) is that there were openly gay Episcopal priests before Robinson. He's the first one of them to be elevated to Bishop, however.

Robinson always makes a point that he's the first OPENLY gay bishop -- he insists there have been many gay bishops serving for years and that the change here is the honesty. And who could object to honesty?

He's a great man.

Our wings are not tired.

javachik, I can't get that address to find anything. Is it through tivo.com's website, or is it a different site?

Oh! Sorry. You're right. Go to Tivo.com, and you'll see a tab on the top right that says "My Tivo".

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

UPS says they left the package "with apartment 9." So it's in my stairwell at least, if not exactly in front of my apartment. Whew!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think all of the Episcopalian priests I know are lesbians. But they all took the collar after Gene Robinson, I'd assume. I still don't think he was the first openly gay priest.
