I wrote an email to the pastor and told him I admired his taking a stand for glbt people at his church, A Baptist church in TEXAS, of all homophobic things. I tried to encourage him to stand strong and not bow to the pressure of some of his congregation who likes the tithes and offerings of gay people but that is as far as equality goes. Kinda like, its ok for African Americans to clean our homes (in the 60's) but don't give them the right to vote, that's just taking equality too far. I digress...
Anyway, this pastor is trying to make a safe and welcoming place for gay and lesbian people and we should encourage him and pray for him. Not very many pastors and leaders in the church are willing to do this.
