Fellatious Theology

Julian Sanchez | January 5, 2006

An anti-gay Baptist pastor in Oklahoma has been arrested for "offering to engage in an act of lewdness" after propositioning a plainclothes cop for oral sex. (He was, he says, "in the area pastoring to police," which may suggest a novel interpretation of that whole "eat of my body" line.) Sure, there's a certain amount of poetic-justice schadenfreude here, but my first thought was: "What kind of sick dystopia makes it a crime to offer someone a hummer?"
