Anti-gay bishop’s water melons

It was naked aggression.

Openly anti-gay Belgian Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard was showered with water yesterday by topless activists in Brussels who were protesting his views on homosexuality.

With messages scrawled on their torsos, the members of the group FEMEN crashed Leonard’s planned lecture on blasphemy at ULB university and screamed insults at him while dousing him with water.

Leonard, 72, has come under fire for his opposition to gays and a willingness to express it publicly.

“Homosexuality is not the same as normal sex in the same way that anorexia is not a normal appetite,” he said in a Belgian television interview.
