Mark Driscoll—putting the ass in pastor since 1996—isn't just obsessed with "effeminate worship leaders." Driscoll is also obsessed with hot and sweaty mixed martial arts action (MMA)... and Tony Jones, one of Driscoll's fellow worship leaders, thinks there's something pretty gay about that:

I’m not the first person to see the homoerotic nature of MMA. A couple years ago in OUT Magazine, Mark Simpson wrote, "Fight Club: How Gay Is MMA?" His conclusion: MMA is “gay porn for straight men." ... So it is, of course, ironic that the churches and pastors who are touting MMA are doing so in order to inject some masculinity into American Christianity. What they seem to be missing—or maybe just what they refuse to admit—is that they’ve chosen the one sport on the American scene that is highly sexually charged. And the sexuality in MMA is not hetero.

Of course, conventional wisdom has long held, with lots of anecdotal evidence to back it up, that we preach most fervently against the very sin that we are struggling with.

Just sayin’.

Preening homophobes and their not-so-secret hunger for cock—it's not just conventional wisdom and anecdotal evidence anymore, Tony. It's science!
