To associate everyone in that Facebook group with a radical leftist agenda rises to the level of slander.

Father John Behr doesn't articulate his views on sexuality in the terms of modern debates, but sexual differentiation is essential to his theological anthropology.

Macarius, I encourage you to ask him personally; I'm sure he would make this perfectly clear.

Quite a few of the members of this same-sex lobby within the OCA have ties to St. Vladimir’s Seminary, two of whose current faculty members (Al Rossi PhD and Fr John Behr) are members of the pro-homosexual rights Facebook Group run by Inga Leonova. Many of the people who are publicly working to change Orthodox Tradition concerning homosexuality have collaborated in the past with Mark Stokoe, who is the online voice of the anti-Metropolitan Jonah wing of the OCA."

well, I think something else to keep in mind is that now someone else can sign you up in a facebook group without your approval (they just send the suggestion and you are in the group), so folks like Dr Rossi and Fr John could have been signed up without knowing because of how busy they prolly are and they might not check up on facebook as often as others.

and, I think that it is a group for debate and discussion. so folks could be on there for the traditional side of marriage arguing against the pro homosexual marriage lobby.

just some stuff to keep in mind
