Guns, gays and God collide in champ's choice of queen

BERLIN (RNS) It's not the first time the choice of a royal spouse has
caused a stir.

But it might be the first such case where gay men, guns and German
Catholic groups have played such an intertwining role.

The mini-scandal centers around whether Dirk Winter, a 44-year-old
beverage wholesaler who lives near Munster, should be able to compete in
a national competition next month among the best marksmen from Germany's
various Catholic-affiliated shooting clubs.
