This Is Not a Joke,

The London Stock Exchange’s chaplain, Peter Mullen, is under pressure to resign after demanding on his personal blog that gay men should be forced to have “sodomy” warnings tattooed on their bodies, according to the UK’s Evening Standard.

How very Hitler of him!

The Bishop of London on Monday called the Mullen’s comments “highly offensive” and Stonewall, the gay rights charity, said he should resign.

Here’s the exact thing that the ass wrote on his blog:

“It is time that religious believers began to recommend … discouragements of homosexual practices after the style of warnings on cigarette packets. Let us make it obligatory for homosexuals to have their backsides tattooed with the slogan SODOMY CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH and their chins with FELLATIO KILLS.”

He also went on to say that gay pride parades were “obscene” and had to be outlawed.

In a statement, the Diocese of London said, “While clergy are entitled to their own personal views, we recognise that the content of this text is highly offensive and is in no way reflective of the views of the Diocese of London.”

A Diocese insider said the chaplain may now face a disciplinary inquiry over his comments.

MAY not WILL?

Stonewall’s chief executive, Ben Summerskill, told the Brit media: “If I was a member of the Stock Exchange I would be wondering whether he is the right person to be chaplain in the opening years of the 21st century. We have talked to one or two gay people in the City and they would be perfectly happy if he were to go.”

On Sunday, papers caught up with the offensive reverend and he said that he was kidding around on his blog, “I wrote some satirical things on my blog and anybody with an ounce of sense of humour or any understanding of the tradition of English satire would immediately assume that they’re light-hearted jokes. I certainly have nothing against homosexuals. Many of my dear friends have been and are of that persuasion. What I have got against them is the militant preaching of homosexuality.”

Disgusting, rev.
