Interesting what he says, that it is more honorable to offer his critique from outside the church than inside it.  It seems that, for some, there comes a point where they have to say "I will do what I believe to be right and I can no longer allow myself to feel compromised by the loyalties of my role within a homophobic institution".   It's an honorable position to take.

There are others who stay on the inside and subvert, and they too choose a path for similar goals with differing reasoning, in some ways I guess that can be an even harder path to follow.

I don't know how I'd feel in his situation.  I expect I'd do what he's done.  I hope he finds a livelihood in his chosen path.
