1st Gay President? Booker Considers Presidential Run

I have an old army buddy who came out after he became a preacher. He recently sent me a link to a website about his church to look at, I read it and called him to find out what kind of church it is and found out its a “gay” church of sorts.

This triggered a long, “spirited” debate. I tried to explain to him that I loved him as my homie because he’s always been the spiritual, religious type and was a welcomed contrast to my wild, drinking, clubbing military crew back in the day, but I simply couldn’t support a church that was rooted in sin. He assumed my stance had something to do with sexuality and it doesn’t. My position was that teaching the bible and preaching to folk about walking upright while having a “1st Gentlemen” next to you at service just didn’t feel right.

Love who you want, sex who you want – I’m not opposed to not believing in a higher power if you believe it goes against your understanding as a gay person, but when you teach the bible while making the Word fit your lifestyle as opposed to making your lifestyle fit the word, then I can’t role with it. You can believe in the word, but I can’t trust you to teach it.

To me, I can no more support a gay church than I can support a church where the pastor is boinking half the congregation, one sin is no different than the other. So, the gay sin is no different than the lying one for me, but don’t try to skip over the portions of the biblle that apply to your sin in order to make it right.
