The chaplain to the London Stock Exchange has said that homosexuals should be tattooed with health warnings similar to those seen on cigarette packets.
Rev Dr Peter Mullen reportedly said in an internet blog homosexuality was "clearly unnatural" and was the "cause of fatal disease"
The Rev Dr Peter Mullen said in an blog that homosexuality was "clearly unnatural, a perversion and corruption of natural instincts and affections" and "a cause of fatal disease".
He recommended that homosexual practices be discouraged "after the style of warnings on cigarette packets".
He wrote: "Let us make it obligatory for homosexuals to have their backsides tattooed with the slogan SODOMY CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH and their chins with FELLATIO KILLS."
In an earlier posting, the Rev Mullen, who is also rector of St Michael's Cornhill and St Sepulchre without Newgate in the City, wrote a poem about the blessing of two gay priests by the Rev Martin Dudley.
The poem begins: "The Bishop of London is in a high huff, Because Dr Dudley has married a puff; And not just one puff - he's married another: Two priests, two puffs and either to other."
It concludes: "Of such Dr Dudley a goldmine has found, From shaven-head puftas the nuptial pink pound.
"The new Church of England embraces diversity, A fresh modulation on ancient perversity."
The Bishop of London condemned the postings, which have since been taken down, as "highly offensive".
A spokesman said: "While clergy are entitled to their own personal views, we recognise that the content of this text is highly offensive and is in no way reflective of the views of the Diocese of London."
The Rev Mullen, 66, who has written a series of books including The Politically-Correct Gospel, was summoned for a meeting with church officials on Friday and told he could face disciplinary action.
Peter Tatchell of gay rights group OutRage! Demanded that the Rev Mullen resign.
He said: "As a chaplain, Rev Mullen ought to be a spiritual guide to all employees of the Stock Exchange.
"Given his quite outrageous homophobia, not only would lesbian and gay employees feel unable to approach him but even heterosexual staff would find what he said deeply offensive and off-putting.
"He should resign or be sacked. If he was mocking black or Jewish people in a similar vein, the Stock Exchange would instantly remove him and the Church would relieve him of his duties. He is not even fit to be a parish priest."
But the rector insisted that he meant to harm: "I wrote some satirical things on my blog and anybody with an ounce of sense of humour or any understanding of the tradition of English satire would immediately assume that they're light-hearted jokes. I certainly have nothing against homosexuals. Many of my dear friends have been and are of that persuasion. What I have got against them is the militant preaching of homosexuality."

I'm totally against tatoos. I've heard girls call other girls with tatoos on their lower back, "Tramp Stamps".
This guy seems to be posing, big time, in his pinstripe mafia jacket. I'll bet he's talking to God in that picture! Probably has a direct line! |

A WARNING TATTOO!?!?!?!?!?
IS THIS FELLOW RELATED TO HITLER IN ANYWAY!?!?!?!?!
Not only am I offended that someone would suggest such a thing. I am lividly offended that someone is using their religion as some sort of shield to push their agenda. |

I find it so Ironic that the Church, was almost in civil war recently,at the Lambeth conference by a group of Bishops from Africa. They were going to split because they disagree with women, and Gay bishops being appointed.Yet AIDS is still rife in Africa, and considered to be the place it came from in the first place.
Revolt about Gays and Women Bishops, from the clergy, sounds,as much use as "rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic as it is sinking". I think they should be spending their time doing their job. Than getting tied up in the politics.

A publicity seeking nutter...maybe he wasn't 100% sober when he said it!
I can just see "Fellatio kills" catching on as a slogan! |

The sad thing is that I've heard this nonsense before- and from someone who was serious and stone-cold sober.
People actually advocate things like that- if they aren't actually advocating murdering LGBT people.
And that's the sad part- "gays" are people just like everyone else. |

Should we also tattoo homophobes? Homosapiens? Homo erectus? Homogeneous?
What about the chemical compound Homocysteine? You may recognize this with the chemical formula: HSCH2CH2CH(NH2)CO2H. It's molecular formula is: C4H9NO2S. How the heck are we going to tattoo this? |
