Vicar hits out at lesbian couple who say he refused to name them both as 'mother' for their child's baptism

From The Daily Mail (England)-

A CHURCH of England vicar refused to christen a baby boy because his lesbian parents both wanted to be registered as his mother.

Aimi Leggett, 25, and her civil partner Victoria, 22, had hoped to welcome  one-year-old Alfie into the church with a traditional christening.


But Reverend George Gebauer told them it was ‘impossible’ for him to have two mothers – forcing his archdeacon to intervene and give permission for  the  service to go ahead.


The 87-year-old from St Mary’s Church in Warsash, Hampshire – who says he ‘feels sorry’ for gay people because they are medically ‘imbalanced’ – refused to conduct the ceremony claiming it could be ‘illegal’ to proceed in the way they wanted.


The couple stormed out of the meeting after the vicar suggested that one of  them should be listed as godmother instead because the baptism certificate only has space for one mother and one father. Alfie’s birth mother Aimi said: ‘There was no way one of us was going to be listed as the godparent. We are both Alfie’s mum.

There are those who agree with Rev Gebauer, the LBGTQ 'community' can be caused by abnormal hormones, hypogonadism as an example.
Two examples, Klinefelter and Kallmann's syndromes.
"Intersex people with Kallmann's Syndrome. It is a new website but offers a great opportunity for people with hypothalamic hypogonadism"
Again, evidenced here in a simple 'case study' of hypogonadism.
“My body changed itself from boy to girl”

The majority of LBGTQ cases are an obvious medical problem , a hormone 'misadventure, and in others the hormone effect is much more gradual.
"Might it be that some or many men who lose interest in their wives in middle age and “come out” as gay are in fact responding to the profound influence of unknown and unidentified hormone changes?"
Making laws, gay marriage for example, to accomodate a medical anomaly such as homosexuality is ludicrous.
