		Wilson, a prominent local minister who ran for D.C. mayor in 2002, is executive director of the Millions More Movement, a national celebration planned to mark the 10th anniversary of the Million Man March.
		The reaction to Wilson's latest treatise on homosexuality was swift and furious, with several gay leaders accusing him yesterday of peddling damaging stereotypes, and national experts saying his warnings lack any basis in fact.
		Wilson writes that he knows about such things "not from hearsay or theory, but through actual counseling of parents, grandparents and their daughters and granddaughters." He says the numbers of girls lured into lesbianism are "prolific, astounding and mind-boggling."

		The Rev. Wilson wags his finger not at Christianity per se but at the ritualistic nature of modern Christianity, which he feels focuses unduly on idolatry and dogma at the expense of genuine spiritual enlightenment.
		The true Christian mission, Wilson says, is not to worship Christ but to emulate him, to become "Christs on Earth." This is possible, he suggests, not through external rituals but through an internal process that focuses on awakening the "God-consciousness" within.
		Wilson's contention that "Christ is an attainable consciousness for all human beings" does to some degree diminish Jesus' uniquely divine stature as God's only son.

		Wilson’s remarks have been bandied about in the news ever since, and it seems as though he’s trying to shift positions or at least make it look that way.
		Later, though, Wilson seemed to be trying to back away from his remarks, claiming they had been misunderstood.
		Wilson’s remarks, combined with the failure to include fl gays and lesbian in initial planning for the Million More March, are a pretty good indication of the level of acceptance and inclusion fl gays can expect — unless the community makes a significant effort to show otherwise.
