Bishop resigns after gay sex tape leak · PinkNews

A Romanian Orthodox bishop has resigned after a tape of him allegedly having gay sex.

Corneliu Barladeanu, the Bishop of Huși, was rocked by scandal this month over the shocking tape, which showed him having gay sex.

The Bishop was an influential voice within the ultra-conservative church, which is strongly opposed to LGBT rights and lobbied against the 2001 repeal of a law that criminalised homosexuality.

But Barladeanu was left with his reputation in tatters when the tape leaked online.

A blurry video, which has racked up more than 180,000 views, shows two male figures kissing and performing oral sex acts on each other.

According to reports, the figures are Barladeanu and a student at his seminary.
