Head of Episcopal Church Calls Homosexuality ‘A Gift’

While Pope Benedict thinks of the gays as dangerous bushwhackers destroying the rainforest of heterosexuality and Rev. Rick Warren defends his homophobia by saying he’s actually met some honest-to-goodness homosexuals in his life, Katharine Jefferts Schori, the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church told the Washington Post over the weekend that homosexuality “Is a reality of creation, not just the human species … For some people to say it’s against the order of creation, it’s a very interesting comment – it doesn’t accord with what we can observe in nature” and then called homosexuality “a gift.”

Note to Barack Obama: Jefferts Schori lives in D.C. She’s available for any upcoming events you might need a priest at. Watch the interview after the jump.
