[Excerpts]
A Scottish reverend is experiencing backlash after urging his congregants in a blog post to pray for 4-year-old Prince George to be gay.
The post, written by Very Rev. Kelvin Holdsworth, a senior member of the Scottish Episcopal Church and avid LGBTQ rights champion, said that Christians who support same-sex marriage need to pray for Prince George to be gay so that one day the Church of England will have to recognize same-sex unions.
He said that churchgoers need to "pray in the privacy of their hearts…for the Lord to bless Prince George with a love, when he grows up, of a fine young gentleman."
Holdsworth's theory is if the toddler is gay, then the Church of England will have to acknowledge him and change its stance. Marriage among same-sex couples has been legal in England since 2013 but it is not allowed within the Royal family's church.
"A royal wedding might sort things out remarkably easily," the priest said, "though we might have to wait 25 years for that to happen. Who knows whether that might be sooner than things might work out by other means?"

So, when people think there is nothing wrong with the homosexual lifestyle, when people think there is nothing wrong with making such members of a church, when people think there is nothing wrong with making such a minister, think again.]
