Church of Scotland ordains 1st openly gay bishop
-
The Church of Scotland assembly has voted to ordain it's 1st openly gay bishop. The priest {won't be a bishop until the ceromony in 2 weeks} lives with his partner.
The vote was something like 364 to 297, with about 1/4th not voting.
This is in Aberdeen where I live, but I only heard about it from another forum as none of the UK media seemed to talk about it, until this weekend when vote happened.

I regard it as a sign of progress that this ordainment was not news in Scotland. It should not be news anywhere.
Gay bishops, gay priests, gay presidents, gay prime ministers, and gay people of all sorts should be no more remarkable for being gay than for being left-handed.
