(In response to a news story about a church cancelling a man's funeral service after finding out he was gay from his obituary.)
True, the pastor jumped the gun before checking things out first but in the end he did the right thing IMO.
With hundreds of mourners in attendance no doubt a few friends would have shared memories about the deceased which would have included personal relationships. The pastor would have no control over those testimonies. I believe the church would have been in danger of being used as a public soapbox to project a wholesome image of the man's relationship {marriage?} with another man as equal to the biblical norm. The word "love" would have been used endlessly to bury any scriptural objections to the lifestyle. Christians once again would be manipulated into silence, which is a major goal of the organized gay agenda.
The mother running to the media is a big red flag for me. There are many, many liberal churches that welcome & promote the homosexual lifestyle and could easily accommodate a large gathering. I'm wondering why she sought a conservative, fundamentalist church to preform the service over those. Could it be she used the same tactic as deliberately choosing a Christian bakery to make a gay cake knowing they'll refuse then crying "bigot"?
