Gene Robinson's politics are personal.
The Anglican Archbishop, whose 2003 ascension sparked outrage in the international Anglican Communion, will have a quite a summer as he married his long time boyfriend, Marc Andrews, and then heads to England to protest not being included in the church's Lambeth Conference, an every-ten-year-event during which Anglican leaders discuss their evolution. Robinson, of course, wants the Church to expand its guidelines to include the gays, but senior leaders are skittish over the idea, which led to Robinson's exclusion.
Now, as we've mentioned, Robinson's headed over to put some pressure on his pious peers:
Bishop Robinson’s decision to be active on the “outside†of the conference will add to the pressures on the Archbishop, who is struggling to keep his church united in line with the Gospel imperative of “one Churchâ€.
…
[Robinson] said that he will enter a legal union with his partner Mark Andrew in June.
…
There is speculation that Bishop Robinson and Mr Andrew will take the opportunity of the Lambeth Conference to “honeymoon†in England. But Mr Andrew dislikes the media spotlight and may prefer to stay away.
We would, too. Who wants a socially aware honeymoon? No one, that's who. Except for Robinson. Obviously.

Perhaps the point has been made already … but Robinson is not an Archbishop … but ratehr, a bishop.
Sadly, fact checking isn't the art it once was.
