Archbishop OK with gays marrying lesbians, so that solves everything

Roman Catholic Archbishop Oscar Cruz (© Bullit Marquez/AP)Archbishop Oscar Cruz, an official with the Philippines' National Appellate Matrimonial Tribunal, adheres to the Catholic Church's hard-line stance against gay marriage, but with a surprising, M. Night Shyamalan-like twist. 

"May a lesbian marry a gay man?" he asked, nonrhetorically, at a church forum on Tuesday. 

"My answer is 'yes,' because in that instance the capacity to consummate the union is there. The anatomy is there. ... I ask this question to myself and I have thought about it for a long time and the answer is 'yes.'" 

We're not sure what's weirder: The fact that he brought this up in public or the fact that he has spent such a long time thinking about it.
