Church 'fired me because I am gay'
A tearful gay music lecturer who was given the boot by the Dutch Reformed Church in Moreleta Park has told the Pretoria high court he was fired because of his sexual orientation. More here.

Sorry, fella. You knew you were gay, and you knew the church had this view. I am gay, but I just cannot agree the church owes him anything, unless he told them when he was hired.

1 He does not have to start a "gay church". There are many good churches that don't see being gay as wrong. They try to practice Christianity as Jesus would, love. |

1 He does not need "straightening out". He just needs to reconize that this lawsuit is without merit. |

1 Yeah, we have seen your "role models" disgraced time and again with extra-cirricular activities with women, men, and with drugs. No thanks. |

2 I'm not kind at all, I view it as a weakness. I'm just a guy that deals with facts and the facts are what I stated in my previous post to you. |

1 You are the one who said "church leaders" without any restrictions. You did not say your personal church leaders. If you want to include them all, you have to include the ones making the papers every day for their nefarious deeds. I don't have to go through the list. You know them. And I notice you left out of your list the extra-marital relationships. Freudian slip there????? |

1 Talk about innuendo and reading between the lines. Get over it Ralph. You try to call her down for what she did NOT write. |

1 Corinthians 6:9 (Amplified Bible)
Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality, This is what the Lord our God says. NO ONE elses opinion matters. |

This teacher has my empathy, however, why would any GLBT individual want to be a member of any religious organization that hates them?
