Before the posters come to blows, I'd suggest the thread be moved to a
'gay' site where it can be argued to eternity.

But we aren't gay, we are straight.

But you are attracting Gays and the tenor of the posts is changing.
None of the posts now have anything to do with aviation or the
aircraft noise factor thread it started out about.

I do a lot of posting off thread but 'most' of these posts are about
my life with heavy iron and places where I flew and the surroundings,
etc. A few, like this one, could be considered a "net nanny" post I
guess, which is not good. I therefore apologize before I get taken to
the cleaners. G

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.

Not all gay ministers are lame-o. I can't recall Gretchen ever mentioning
sexuality in a sermon. She had more important topics. I most enjoyed
being invited to her house to view and have a theological discussion of
"The Life of Brian."

Of course, it was her (non-gay) replacement that we had to have defrocked
(an uncommon event for the UU ministry). Sounds like your congregation
should have throttled your minister.

I didn't mean to imply that all gay ministers were bad, just this one. It
didn't seem that anyone really objected to his sermons, so I'm not sure he
got put in his place. The place was so political, this may have been what
they wanted, I don't know.

I also should have mentioned that he couldn't sing either. I would
cringe when he would start butcherin' some "Old Negro Spiritual" or some
such. Just awful.

By the way, I'm more of a "Holy Grail" kinda guy.

The Unitarians have been murdering the classics for years. I cringe at some
of the lyrics in Singing the Living Tradition no matter how accomplished the
soloist.
