Openly gay New Hampshire Bishop Gene Robinson is in the United Kingdom where he has been excluded from the Anglican Church's Lambeth Conference of church leaders. On the BBC1 program the Andrew Marr Show, Robinson said he felt the church had made a mistake.

Gene Robinson's ordination to bishop in 2003 created a schism between the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. Many church leaders protested including Robinson at the conference, pressuring the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams to exclude him.

Appearing on the show with British out actor Sir Ian McKellen, Robinson discussed why he was in the UK when he was not invited to the conference.
