Had the vicar come to SGT with his intention, before he married, he would have received a plethora of cogent advice explaining in detail why his plans were lacking in sound judgment. And then, human beings being what they are, he would have rejected the expert opinions received from SGT members and would have proceeded merrily on his way to make arrangements for the honeymoon, proving once again that one is never too old behave foolishly.

I know that the ratio of gays to straights is about 10/1 so the sucker marriages should be about the same but I think they're not because the straights are bigger suckers than the gays.

Opps that should read straights to gays...of course

One very cute lad, but buying a flat in his name? How dumb can people be ?

Although, the clergy are not exactly trained in rational thought processes, since they have a career at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Correct.
They believe that God created heaven and earth because it is so stated in the bible and the bible is the word of God.
The boy said he loved me and I believed him because he said so.
Once you gyrate within circular thinking you never leave.

There's no fool like an old fool and top of the fools tree are sad and lonely gay men who insist their 'boyfriend' several decades younger than them really really loves him.

So you're saying that in any relationship where there's an age difference there's no genuine love? Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch, say?

[arsenal]

No. Rupert and Jerry are so clearly soulmates and in love that.........no, can't continue, too busy tying to keep a straight face.

It's perfectly possible to have a genuine relationship with someone who is decades younger (in our case 3 decades, not the 5 of the Vicar and his unofficial Verger) - but I accept it is rare.

In this case the Vicar obviously threw all his eggs in the one basket as, at 78, he probably thought this was his last chance at happiness after a lifetime of hiding his sexuality and living a double life - not to mention living through decades of possibility being criminalised over it.

Yes he was naive and foolish, but which of us hasn't been - to a lesser extent at least?

I'm happy not to be one of those sad, bitter and twisted individuals gloating over the Vicar's naivety and misjudgement whilst indulging their much worse peccadilloes themselves, such as offing boys of questionable mental/behavioural capacity who are (as Frequent would say) "young enough to be their grandchildren", for example.

Thankfully, you'd never get anything like that on SGT of course as everybody is squeaky clean and thus able to disparage and have a good laugh at other people's misfortune
