LONDON - Demonstrators scaled the walls of the Archbishop of Canterbury's palace yesterday to protest at what they said was his homophobic attitude to gay priests.
Waving banners saying "Stop Crucifying Queers", they confronted a startled Dr George Carey, the leader of the Anglican Church, who was meeting 16 bishops from around the world at Lambeth Palace.
The protesters, led by Mr Peter Tatchell of the Outrage Group, said they objected to Dr Carey ruling out any role in the Church of England for clergy in homosexual relationships.
