Outed Lutheran Pastor Tom Brock Returns To Pulpit Saying That We Are All Born Straight And Then Stuff Goes Wrong, One Iowa Canvasses For Gay Equality, Ryan Murphy Calls Modern Family Archaic And Outdated, Cristiano Ronaldo

Lutheran Reverend Tom Brock, outed by Minnesota-based Lavender magazine, returned to the pulpit of Hope Lutheran church in Minneapolis Sunday, addressing the congregation after being placed on leave saying, somewhat inexplicably “I am a 57 year old virgin.” Monday, in an interview, Brock said that he is indeed attracted to men, but has never acted on his same sex urges; consequently Brock believes he is not a closeted gay man because he has steadfastly resisted sex, which certainly has made for one mentally healthy man. Brock says he opposes allowing homosexuals to lead congregations, and added that “I think we’re all born heterosexual actually, and then stuff goes wrong.” Predictably (and perhaps sadly) Brock contends that the source of his male to male attraction is routed in distant relationship with his now deceased father. “My message,” says Brock “doesn’t change at all. I still think homosexual behaviour is a sin. Because I struggle with it doesn’t make it right.”

One Iowa, the state’s largest gay advocacy group, spent most of Monday on the streets of Davenport, door to door canvassing with a message to voters to retain their rights at the polls this November and reject the National Organization for Marriage’s demand that gay marriage, which the state Supreme Court approved last year, be repealed. Carolyn Jenison, director of One Iowa, said that “equality is right at home here in the heartland and it is up to you and I to make sure that never changes, we must stand proud against the attacks of these extremist groups who seek to take that right away.”

Without ever mentioning it by name, Glee creator Ryan Murphy obviously referenced Modern Family and not in a good way. “I hate it on TV show, and there’s one show that I won’t name right now, where it’s like ‘Why aren’t these characters kissing? Don’t they have a child?’ That’s ridiculous to me. I don’t understand it.” Murphy added that the idea Modern Family intends to address the fact the Cameron and Mitchell have never displayed any public affection for each other beyond a hug, as annoying. “If I did it on my show, I would just have them do it in every scene and not have a big deal about it. I don’t think that you have to announce a very special episode. Weren’t they doing it back on Roseanne? It is just so outdate and archaic to me and as a gay man, I would never do that. I would make it very organic and do it several times and not make it a stunt.”

Cristiano Ronaldo shows off, well Cristiano Ronaldo.
