Church cancels 'gay' memorial service
The Rev. Gary Simons of the nondenominational High Point Church explains: "We did decline to host the service - not based on hatred, not based on discrimination, but based on principle."
He went on to explain that the church didn't want to be seen as condoning homosexuality, though how having a respectful memorial does that was left unclear.
Perhaps the reverend feared hordes of leather-clad men descending on his sanctuary? In any event, the takeaway is that bigotry can reach beyond the grave.
What's most sad is that the congregation of the church envisions a diety so harsh and judgemental that it won't even allow them to pay their respects to a dead man.
To paraphrase the old saying, "With a God like that, who needs the Devil?"

Concerning the Bible Thumpers and gays, don't forget The Catholic Church in the Catechism 235758 states that the condition is a "grave depravity...contrary to natural law." The Darwinists would also say that evolution would quickly eliminate homosexuality since it works against survival of the race(gays don't reproduce).
