First Openly Gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson on the Divisions Within the Anglican Church, Coming Out and Leading the Invocation at Obama's Inaugural Celebration

Bishop Gene Robinson is no stranger to controversy. His ordination by the Episcopalian Church in 2003 was greeted with both outrage and celebration in various parts of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Bishop Robinson came out over twenty years ago. In June of last year, he was legally joined to his longtime partner, Mark Andrew, in a civil ceremony in New Hampshire. This past January, Bishop Robinson was again in the news when he led the invocation for President Obama's inauguration celebration and concert at the Lincoln Memorial. Ref. Source 2
