Thought For The Day: Rev Richard Coles

"It is striking how many of nature's bachelors find themselves at the dressier end of the ecclesiastical spectrum. There's something about the performance, showbiz side of things – the same sensibility that enjoys Rodgers & Hammerstein and middle-period Verdi."

Richard Coles interviewed in The Guardian.
I also liked the line;
"Vicars should look like vicars. It sometimes invites attention you'd rather not have. But it does mean no one sits next to you on the train. Which is a perk."
Richard is presenting Out In The World: A Global Gay History on BBC Radio 3.
Don't agree with his argument that "gay" is a modern construct, but then neither does this history.
Most odd.
Follow the Rev on Twitter - it's divine.
