Some intolerant members of our church really pissed off the pastor

39. My church choir has a straight director,

...who was hired by two married gay priests. A pastor & assistant pastor. They aren't married to each other. But individually chose younger Hispanic partners. The choir has two gay members. One of them is an ordained priest. Long live the Episcopal Church!

We are pretty reflective of most churches, who hide their sexual preferences behind closed doors. As has been the norm for centuries. The church has been where gay folks went to live their lives away from society.

In my 19th year I was confirmed as an Episcopalian. Then after singing in churches in London, I was turned off by the flamboyance of the officiants. I was young and still being formed. Now there's no flamboyance in this church, but without the convictions of these gay Christians there would be no choir or congregation either.
