The nation's largest LGBT civil rights organization is demanding an apology from the dean of an Episcopal seminary for equating the election of an openly gay bishop in California to "a terrorist bomb, which is timed to destroy a peace process."

The remark, by Rev. Paul Zahl (pictured), dean of Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pennsylvania was quoted by the Associated Press and reported Wednesday in 365Gay.com. (story)

Three of the seven candidates running for Bishop of California are openly gay. A choice will be made on the weekend.

"Reverend Zahl should apologize for spouting such harmful rhetoric in the middle of an open and honest conversation happening in the life of the church," Human Rights Campaign's Religion and Faith Director Harry Knox said Thursday.

1. The U.S. Government actually DID investigate a "Gay Bomb"

Gay bomb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gay bomb is an informal name for a potential non-lethal chemical weapon, which a United States Air Force research laboratory speculated about producing.

In 1994 the Wright Laboratory in Ohio produced a three-page proposal of a variety of possible nonlethal chemical weapons, which was later obtained—complete with marginal jottings and typos—by the Sunshine Project through a Freedom of Information Act request.

In one sentence of the document it was suggested that a strong aphrodisiac could be dropped on enemy troops, ideally one which would also cause "homosexual behaviour". The aphrodisiac weapon was described as "distasteful but completely non-lethal".

In its "New Discoveries Needed" section, the document implicitly acknowledges that no such chemicals are actually known. It is not known whether this chemical has been developed further. The document also included many other off-beat ideas, such as spraying enemy troops with bee pheromones and then hiding numerous beehives in the combat area.
