Your Asshat of the Week: Archbishop of Rochester Michael Nazir-Ali

Our asshat nominees this time out included a basic cable network, a Church of England bishop, a GLBT magazine, and a conservative Canadian MP. Here are the voting results for this week's poll. As you can see, our winner eked out a narrow victory...

Congratulations to the Archbishop on his squeaker of a victory. In case you've forgotten why exactly this guy was nominated, here's what he had to say in an interview to London's Daily Telegraph...

The Bible’s teaching shows that marriage is between a man and a woman. That is the way to express our sexual nature. We welcome homosexuals, we don’t want to exclude people, but we want them to repent and be changed. We want to uphold the traditional teaching of the Bible. We believe that God has revealed his purpose about how we are made.

We'll be back with a new selection of Asshat Smackdown nominees in Friday's Best Gay Week Ever column. Feel like nominating anyone? Please share in the comments!
