WELBY TOLD ME GAY MARRIAGE PROGRS WILL BE ‘GLACIAL’, SAYS SANDI TOKSVIG

’” He was a Danish foreign rrponnt, and while she grew up maly the US, her parents were always on the move, and she has the urbane wherever-I-lay-my-hat outlook of a diplomat’s child: she n be Danish, English and a New Yorker the urse of one the mid-90s, thanks to the tabloids, she was mostly famo for beg gay. I don't remember "disverg" I was gay.

I rell hearg a relig lear on the rad sayg he thought gay people had "enough equaly". A Catholic acquatance said she opposed gay marriage on the grounds that marriage was for procreatn, yet she herself remarried aged 56 when prumably babi were not high on the agenda. Take the Bible, which the olst anti-gay chtnut is, perhaps, the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Here the town of Sodom is said by some to have been stroyed by God as punishment for homosexual behavur. From my readg of the story, I would say Sodom and Gomorrah is as much about gay people as Jonah and the Whale is a treatise on fishg. I believe the tale has nothg to do wh sex but, as Le the Bible reports, is actually about hospaly to me the s of Sodom is the way that gay people have been, and ntue to be, persecuted the name of relign.

SANDI TOKSVIG SAYS ‘LIV AT STAKE’ AFTER ANTI-GAY ANGLIN CHURCH CLARATN

The real crime – shunng those who are strange to you – has been repeated every day to gay people across the 's not fet the end of the story. I am tired of the lazy journalist who, mentg on a book or a play I have wrten or a show I have hosted, feels necsary to mentn my beg gay or the origs of my children.

I don't know why beg gay mak mentators feel ee to pose qutns they would not dream of askg a straight person. The treatment and attu to gay people Nigeria, Uganda and Rsia, for example, is medieval and shockg.

Sandi Toksvig has said the Church of England’s posn on same-sex marriage is “untenable” after a meetg wh the archbishop of edian met Jt Welby after she exprsed her dismay last year that he had reaffirmed the church’s 1998 claratn that gay sex is a “long-promised ffee” was “lm and nsired”, she said, but cricised Welby after he told her that progrs on the issue would be “glacial” a vio released onle after the meetg, Toksvig said was clear the “Church of England and the society purports to reprent are not remotely step”. I don’t mean to make a surprise announcement about his sexualy, but e out as a gay ally. The liv of LGBTQ+ people are at stake, the broadster and thor Sandi Toksvig has said, after the archbishop of Canterbury affirmed the validy of a 1998 rolutn that gay sex is a a letter to more than 650 bishops attendg the once-a- Lambeth nference on Tuday, Jt Welby, who is also lear of the Anglin church, said the rolutn, known as Lambeth 1.
