One of the county's cathedrals will be the stage for a gay rights group's demonstration this weekend.

International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO) is angry at the Bishop of Rochester's opposition to an homosexual American bishop attending a key church meeting.

But the Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali said he respected all people no matter their sexuality.

A spokesperson for the group said: "The Bishop can change his religion but, just as he cannot change his skin colour, we cannot change our sexuality."

IDAHO also believes the bishop has opposed gay rights measures such as child adoption by gay partners.

The group will be protesting at Rochester Cathedral on Saturday.
