Broadway Baptist

[kymethodist]

I was appalled to see the narrow minded and unChristian stance of the SoBapConv and the University of Cumberland's rejection of the Broadway Baptist Youth Choir.

I sent email to the interim pastor of Broadway Baptist. Here it is:

I was a delegate to the KY Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. I spoke passionately for an amendment to our constitution to eliminate discrimination against ANYONE. A young woman spoke against it because she didn't want gays in her church. It was soundly defeated. I don't identify with the gay lifestyle. I don't condone it. But I will not sit in judgment of people who profess a love of God and Jesus, for ANY reason. The Methodist Church motto is Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors. Unfortunately, many don't know what that means. Kinda like the Declaration of Independence We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal. It took almost 200 years to see that statement become reality. Hold to your principles, and Jesus'. I am sorry some of my Kentucky brethren are filled with fear and ignorance. We are a little backward, some of us. Pray for their enlightenment. God Bless those with the courage to stand up for what is right.

I'm sorry about what happened. It's a shame that some folks are fearful of people who are different. I will pray that hearts and minds will be changed.

I'm gay but I won't hate either.

Thanks for standing up for equality.
