Um, Anglican checking in here … we’re feeling a little left out. I mean, the [Archbishop of Canterbury](http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/71)dresses funny, too, and he’s not all that giddy over having gays just [hooking up](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1527357/Gays-must-change,-says-archbishop.html)willy-nilly (indeed, keeping one’s willy out of someone else’s nilly is the whole point of being Anglican, one would think!) In all fairness, we Anglican Episcopialians would respectfully request an appropriate portion of denigration over the whole gay thing, and I hope there aren’t too many entendres in that last sentence. ---

> [@Kythereia](#): > > Dude, you’re so behind the times. We’re schisming\* over same-sex union blessings now! Out of fear of teh gay, 19 Canadian Anglican parishes have joined the Anglican Southern Cone that traditionally covers Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. First Anglican priests marrying, then women becoming Anglican priests, then gays becoming Anglican priests in Canada, then gays marrying in Canada including in Anglican churches – what next in the slow march to equality for all? ---
