Royal pardon for codebreaker Alan Turing
About bloody time! He only helped save the world from evil and fathered the computer age. It was shameful what my country did to him.
No apology can make up for what they did to him.

I know sticking a nail in an outlet is wrong because I know the consequences. You think you know the consequences of homosexual sex, but it's nothing more than an opinion.
The most interesting analogy I've heard on the topic.

Like I've said many times. Tolerance is a double-edged sword. If you want the Christian community to tolerate the gay community, you've got to tolerate that most Christians believe the act of gay sex to be wrong.
I agree with this sentiment, but I don't think A&E's problem with Roberson was that he said the homosexuality is sin, but that he compared it to bestiality.
To be fair, he was not so much "comparing," as listing homosexuality as one of many sins (including heterosexual promiscuity). You've previously expressed acceptance of your church's teachings against homosexuality. There is debate about the true biblical position on the topic. A usual objection to equating bestiality and homosexuality is one of consent, but the bible addresses less legal concerns.
Anyway, Merry Christmas!
