To quote a journalist friend of mine: A guy in a dress, in charge of a mob of boy diddling ‘celibate’ men in frocks is hardly the person to pass comment on how the rest of society conducts their sex lives.


Quoting from memory here, so might not be word for word, but that’s the general gist of it.


P.S I’m pretty sure the originator of that comment, nor myself, intend any slight to cross dressers.

So let me get this straight (if you’ll pardon the expression).


A man who has taken a lifelong vow of celibacy is accusing ME of attacking creation and endangering the species?


no…..didn’t you know orfeo……celibacy is natural……the entire animal kingdom practices it…….. 😀 😀 😀 😉 0:)

you did well quoting from memory mazdragon…..i think this is the quote you are referring to.


“The claim that homosexuality is ‘unnatural’ … Perhaps the Pope is suggesting that it lies beyond the scope of ‘normal’ human behaviour. If so, this has uncomfortable implications for an association of old men who wear dresses, hear voices and practise ritual cannibalism. … Self-enforced celibacy.. is all but unknown among other animal species. If any sexual behaviour is out of tune with the natural world, it is surely that of the priesthood.”

–George Monbiot writing in Britain’s The Guardian, July 13.

That’s similar, but the journo I was quoting is an Aussie. Perhaps she was paraphrasing that piece.

I hope my activist past doesn’t come back to haunt me 😀 😀 😀
