People who talk as this pastor has usually have a close kinship to the problem they are so adamently opposed to.

No, no, no...
I am terrified of cockroaches. They freak me out so bad that I can't even kill 'em. I would say my SO is more of a butterfly, if he were a bug. But, he would be a rather strange butterfly, capable of changing form at will.
Maybe the bug analogy is no good. I don't like any bug, to he honest. And, butterflies freak me out just as bad. (They are still bugs at the end of the day).
I'd also like to say that Pastor Harris probably shoves cucumbers up his a$$ on the weekends. I wouldn't be surprised if we have another Ted Haggard situation on out hands.
I understand that religious people are all about procreation...but, it's usually the hateful ones that are gayest and deepest in a closet of hate.
Teddy Haggard liked to have sex with male prostitutes while smoking meth...then, he'd preach about how all gay people are a threat to society.
See, being gay isn't a threat to society...but, if you are so deviant that you are screwing a male prostitute in a cheesy motel room while getting high on meth...then, yeah, you are probably what is wrong with society. But, they have to suppress that "gay demon," because it means that most other gays are as screwed up in the head as you are.
Then, one of those gay prostitutes tells a journalist about you. And, the gay community points and laughs while the silly Christians that supported his intolerance bury their heads in the sand. I also understand that he is a very wealthy man. And, though Jesus did not say anything about gays, he did have it out for rich people. Being rich wasn't his thing at all. But, you know, how many hate-spewing pastors read the Bible? That's whole "what would Jesus do" thing...
Anyway, I seriously wouldn't let people like that bother you. No one takes that motherf*cker seriously. And, the people that are taking him seriously will bury their heads in the sand in a few years. These kind of rampages are usually very predictable.
"Today a young man [...] realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration...that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively...there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the Weather.”-Bill Hicks
“What freedom men and women could have, were they not constantly tricked and trapped and enslaved and tortured by their sexuality! The only drawback in that freedom is that without it one would not be a human. One would be a monster.” East of Eden by Steinbeck
I don't think we should assume this to be true. I think there are various possibilities here. They've been mentioned already in this thread or in the other thread on the Media forum where this issue is also being discussed.
(1) The man is gay, bi, or TG himself.
(2) He thinks he has a large audience and he's playing to them, trying to make himself popular.
(3) He's got a very twisted notion of what religion should be.
(4) He's simply a nasty person.
(5) He's taken some sort of abuse in his life, perhaps as a child, and now he wants revenge.
(6) Perhaps a combination of some of the above, or perhaps all of them, or perhaps something else that we can't guess at. People aren't always easy to figure out.
In any case, he's a cockroach himself who needs to be sprayed.

I don't think he needs spraying... I think he's doing a great job of ruining himself all on his own.
The good pastor needs to find himself a new and less irritating hobby than his current one of misrepresenting humanity.

Being transgender isn't a lifestyle choice. How you deal with it is.
Them Carolina woods are teaming over with self-righteous religious crack pots. I wouldn't wish the event on my worse enemy, but try having an encounter with the Church of God of Prophesy. They are worse than the Baptist.
My great state. I think some like to be on t.v. People like that are mostly in the smaller towns.
