Flagstaff, AZ city meeting: Pastors opposing special rights based on sexual preference called bigots
The Arizona Daily Sun carries this report by J. Ferguson:
More than 100 residents, including White, crammed into a meeting room at the Radisson Woodlands Hotel for the forum, which was being held by the city’s Diversity Awareness Commission. The proposal seeks to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of civil rights that are protected in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodations and education . . .
But Pastor Bill Guise of the First Congregational Church of Flagstaff gave an alternative Christian viewpoint to the ordinance . . . ”There has been a lot of appeal to the Bible and a lot of appeal to religion and morality,” Guise said. “And I am here to say Christianity for one — and that is my field — is not a monolith. There are many, many, many religious people, and devoutly so, who deeply disagree with this naked religious bigotry against people of different sexual orientation and I am one of them.”

THIS IS VERY SIMPLE. THE GOSPEL IS VERY CLEAR. THE GEAY LIFESTYLE IS A SIN AND WE SHOULD NOT EMBRACE PERVERSITY IN THE NAME OF DIVERSITY. THESE PEOPLE NEED MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT. AND THE LIBERAL CHURCHES WHO PICK AND CHOSE AS THEY WISH FROMT HE BIBLE ALWAYS EMBRACE PERVERSITY AND SIN. THEY ARE NOT TRUE CHRISTIANS. AND THE GAY COMMUNITY ARE THE BIGOTS. THEY ARE BIGOTS TOWARD PEOPLE OF FAITH. AND PEOPLE OF FATIH NEED TO EMPHATHIZE THAT POINT.
