Okay, perhaps "on your ass" was a poor choice of words, but V. Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal bishop who is better known as "the gay bishop" says he no longer rejects the identity and plans to take a lead in the fight over same-sex marriage.
Bishop Robinson, who lives in New Hampshire, believes that the church should simply bless a marriage and not be involved in the legality (Ed note: we agree). He will speak at Emory University in Atlanta tonight as part of the Center for the Study of Law and Religion's 2008-2009 "When Law and Religion Meet" lecture series. He plans to speak about the divide in the church caused by his election as bishop in 2003.
