God, I love British sensibilities...........
This news story illustrates why I love that tart, British sense of humor mixed just so with pride and intelligence. We Americans would probably respond with something like "We're here, we're weeding, GET USED TO IT!":

GAY GARDENERS QUIT OVER ANGLICAN STRIFE

Following the backlash in the Anglican Church that forced gay bishop appointee Jeffrey John to reject the post, an openly gay couple who tend the grass at their local church have resigned in protest.

SNIP

"Given the present circumstances of the forced resignation of Canon John because of his, albeit, celibate homosexual relationship with his partner of 27 years, we felt that you would certainly not approve of an active homosexual couple tending to the environment of your beloved souls in the parish church graveyard."
