Having made millions from his success on the gay club scene, the Pentecostal minister is having to deny accusations of double standards as he uses his fortune to fund a campaign berating homosexuals.
“This is not about gay rights, it’s about gay wrongs,” he told The Times. “It’s not all homosexuals. Just the militant ones. There is a certain type who should stop criticising the Church and get a life. This is Christianophobia, peddled by the pink press.”
...
“I think that Patrick has things to answer for,” said Mr Hargreaves, 49, who says that he has concerns over the MSP’s well-known previous role as a sexual health worker involved in projects with gay men.
“This is not just a cuddly Green MSP. I do not think that people were fully aware of his whole agenda when he was elected. He is a gay fundamentalist who got in using a green card of convenience and I want to expose him.” The claims have been dismissed by Mr Harvie as absurd.
We can do without this kind of nonsense from Mr Hargreaves. Last word to Mr Harvie:
Mr Harvie sympathised, nevertheless, with his rival’s attempts to distance himself from the gay anthem.
“There’s no accounting for taste,” he smiled. “I’d be racked with guilt if I wrote that song too.”

interesting post. I think that unfortunately there has been demonising on both sides of the fence. having been a high profile pentecostal preacher for 15 years and now living as an openly gay man for 15 years I've seen the best and worst of both worlds.
In my autobiography I speak about what is needed.... which is a space. A space of respect, leaving judgement and blaming outside the door where we can have an informed, intelligent dialogue.
Rev Hargraves' "So Macho" royalties are also bankrolling the so Called welsh Christian Party in the Welsh Assembly elections. Their main policy - to abolish the Red Dragon Flag because dragons are a symbol of Satan!!!
