(New Hampshire) Bishop Robinson made headlines in 2003, when he became the first non-celibate gay clergyman in the Anglican Communion to become bishop. At his consecration he wore a bulletproof vest under his vestments because he had received death threats.
Bishop Robinson said at a local diocesan meeting that he would step down as bishop in January of 2013 but would continue his work with the "unchurched" and "dechurched" on college campuses and public forums, showing no intention of retiring from public life. "I get the opportunity to make the case for God and for God's church - either to those who have never known God's unimaginable love, or to those who have been ill-treated, in the name of a judgmental God, and who have left the church. Recent news brings us the tragic stories of teenagers who have taken their own lives because religion tells them they are an abomination before God and who believe that their lives are doomed to despair and unhappiness."
He told the convention that being in the eye of the storm had proved too much. He said: "Death threats, and the now-worldwide controversy surrounding your election of me as bishop, have been a constant strain, not just on me, but on my beloved husband, Mark, who has faithfully stood with me every minute of the last seven years, and in some ways, you."
