Bishop Gene Robinson Tired of Straitjacket of Gay / Straight /Bi " Many other sexualities to be explored"

Oh good grief.

I am going to be doing a post later on an important document the Episcopal Church put out. That is "Same-Sex Relationships in the Life of the Church". This a document where the conservatives(anti same sex marriage) put forth their side and the liberals "Pro same sex marriage" put forth their side. Again I will plenty to say on this later.

It appears that one of the theologians was giving a presentation and Bishop GENE ROBINSON made this comment.

Along with Dr. Willis Jenkins of Yale, Grant went to the Spring 2010 meeting of the House of Bishops to present the work of the panel. Both Willis and Grant gave ten minute presentations summarizing the two positions, for and against same-sex marriage. The bishops then discussed among themselves in table groups following which there was an hour for the bishops to ask questions. Perhaps the most interesting thing which happened during that question period was a short speech by Gene Robinson, Bishop of New Hampshire, who expressed dissatisfaction with both papers and stated that it was time to move beyond speaking simply of "GLBT" (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered) orientations: "there are so many other letters in the alphabet," he said; "there are so many other sexualities to be explored." He did not elaborate as to what those other sexualities and other letters of the alphabet might be.

Many people on Anglican blogs are going what the heck is he talking about. One person gave a hint and said those "letters of the alphabet are currently felonies.

This commenter at Stand Firm was more blunt

WARNING: IF YOU DON’T WISH TO KNOW THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION AT COMMENT [43], OR FEAR IT WOULD BE EMBARRASSING, PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS COMMENT!
[43] driver8,


Sadly, I can only guess, although surely he must be talking about a list including at least some of the following:
• autoeroticism•

pædophilia (man/boy, woman/girl)
• polyamory (heterosexual or otherwise)
• incest
• bestiality
• necrophilia

He may also be thinking of sexual behaviors of which even I, a former sailor now 64 years old, have never heard.
