Default Stephen Bennett addresses the Equality Ride

As many of you know I have been following and trying to dialog with Stephen Bennett about his show Straight Talk Radio. Todays show which I haven't heard yet, is focus on the Equality Ride. I will listen later and update my blog with any thoughts or interesting quotes.

This radio program since its start has been painting a very ugly and misinformed picture of gays and lesbians. I have sent many letters and emails to its host in an attempt to dialog with him. I have never recieved a reply. I have started a petition to protest the show. It can be found at:

http://www.petitiononline.com/StopSTR/petition.html

Here is the info on today's show.

Today on Straight Talk Radio with Stephen and Irene Bennett:
The Soulforce “Equality?” Ride – With Radio Host Jan Markell

Today Stephen Bennett chats with Jan Markell, founder of Olive Tree Ministries and radio talk show host of Understanding the Times. Stephen and Jan discuss the Soulfource “Equality?” Ride coming to Bethel University in Minneapolis. We pray you are blessed by today’s broadcast on Straight Talk Radio!



To listen to today’s broadcast or any of the last five days…

Simply go to STR’s Broadcast Archives Page.

Jan & Stephen have this histrionic fear that the college students are weak and unprepared for the "homosexual activists." Stephen, who says he is an "ex-gay," "If I had been at Bethel and heard soulforce's message I probably would have believed it and continued a sinful lifestyle..." (paraphrase)

The Bethel provost wasn't histrionic at all. I really commend him for calmly putting up with those two for two entire hours.
