Well, what did she expect? She is a minister in what is clearly a bigoted and homophobic church. This is what she gets for not taking a harder line on her values and what she believes is right.

Why is it that all it takes for a clergyman to get defrocked in most denominations is being openly gay yet one who molests children or takes advantage of parishioners just has a "weakness" and keeps his title? :x
