What problematic relationship? The fact that he was excommunicated from the church?

Excommunicated from the Church for openly and publically attacking its legitimacy while a member? Being openly homosexual?

He was excommunicated neither for apostasy nor homosexuality. Instead, it was insubordination to his SP -- Quinn refused to attend the various disciplinary proceedings when ordered to do so by the SP. At the final proceeding, where Quinn was ex'ed, apostasy was not found (even though BKP had ordered the SP to get rid of Quinn, which he did).
"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."

-- Mike Quinn, writing of the FARMSboys, in "Early Mormonism and the Magic World View," p. x (Rev. ed. 1998)

I love your sig line, Rollo. There is a "fair" chunk of truth in it.
