So, one of the church’s fine clergy has stepped up and declared that gay men* should have identifying tattoos on their faces, informing the world that they’re gay. He also wants a return to anti-glbt teaching. But why stop there; why not ensure that gay people are easily identifyable with pink triangles, perhaps green triangles for criminals and anti-social types, and hell, the unemployed could have a black triangle. Y’know, we could have yellow triangles for Jewish people. Perhaps for him though, the most important people to identify would be those who we should maybe give a red triangle to – the damn liberals.
Oh, for a return to the delightful days of the Nazis, when we could easily identify those we hate and segregate, punish and imprison them.
Thank you Reverend Mullen (rector of St Michael’s Cornhill and St Sepulchre)Â for making it all so clear.
* I’m presuming it’s targeted at gay men, if we delve into his homophobic little head we’ll probably find he wants something else done to lesbians, the text of his post does say ‘homosexuals’ though, and given that Sodomy’s not so common between lesbian couples I’m presuming that tattoo is inappropriate…
