Geez, this sounds like the same arguement we had a church when we hired a
minister. Hoards of gays would flock to the church because she was there.
Exactly ONE gay person joined the church because of her. The rest of the
congregation nick-named her "the hoard". Everyone had lots of fun with
it.

I know it's way off topic, but that's never happened before ;-),

This reminds me of an experience that I had:
My wife and I used to attend a Unitarian church. The pastor there gave
awesome sermons, all of which would be welcome in any church or synagogue
anywhere. He left after a year and his understudy took over while a new
pastor was being secured. She really liked to have guest "sermonizers" which
I thought was cool. Well, it seemed that the only people who would get up
and talk were people with various political agendas. They would go on for 20
minutes or more talking about population control, environmental concerns,
you name it. The good feeling that we used to have when we left the church
was gone.

I figured that eventually that the political diatribes would peter out, but
then the new minister turned out to be gay. Not a problem until a good half
of his sermons was about being gay or how awful Jesse Helms is. I fully
expected him to burn ol' Jesse in effigy, that's how bad it was. The last
service I went to had us holding hands and singing "We shall overcome". This
dude essentially hijacked a church to hold gay rights rallies. Not my cup of
tea for a Sunday morning.

I'm not anti-gay, but I have to draw the line at lame-o gay ministers
though.
