I've just had a rare wander into the Wigan board, and after gushing praise for Lenagan et al for their inclusivity regarding Pride, there's a lot of foot scuffling, staring at the floor..."dunno, Sir" , after its emerged that Lenagan had made enquiries after Folau.

I can't see how you can ban a person for quoting passages from a book that is not banned. They should go after the author.

He admitted it on 5 Live drive time and said they couldn't look into it further because they ran out of cap.

I think he was referring to these passages

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

and mixed in a bit of

...just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. (Jude 7)

Like I said, if you ban the man, ban the book. To think this nonsense was/is taught in our schools.

I say Wires71, i see sheep are not included in the list of dos & don'ts.

Amazingly though ,these people who are upset by Folau speaking his mind belong to a group of people who are happy to speak their collective mind & openly flout their preferences to a greater population who couldn't really care less what they get up to. Perhaps the dwellers on the rainbow spectrum should think about drawing less attention to themselves in the first place to avoid criticism.

I cannot believe all the snowflakes coming out saying there are "offended" and "upset". I mean really? Surely Gareth Thomas has more things to worry about.

I'm with Stephen Fry on this 3rd party mock offence.

“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so f@@king what."

Maybe caught under the "sexually immoral" catch all if you are thinking of doing things to them other than eating them.
