text: There we go now......yours is the very type of thinking used by bigots of all kinds, making connection between all sorts of personal or social disorders in order to justify the oppression (religious or secular) of a singled-out group.  I would suggest you reconsider your statement of: "Should the bishop deny a Christian burial to a known and conspicuous racist?" to what Jesus taught His disciples over and over again.  You should already know there is no connection between homosexuality (an orientation on a range of possibilities) and racism (a learned hatred towards other groups of human beings based on external differences).  Perhaps your position as you expressed here is closest to that of a racist then it is to Christianity?
