I apologized to the gay community on behalf of true Christians everywhere at last year’s Pride Parade in West Hollywood—and plan on doing so again this Sunday when we attend! Why will I apologize? Because Christians have shamelessly preached a hate-filled Gospel, misrepresenting their God-given ambassadorship on behalf of Christ to those lost in their
Starbucks founder Howard Schultz made this comment recently to a shareholder: “You can sell your shares of Starbucks and buy shares in another company. Thank you very much.” Why would ole Howard make this comment? Because the shareholder doesn’t share the same liberal values as Mr. Schultz. According to the Washington Post: …the shareholder in
The great gay Kiss-In at Chick Fil-A flopped big time last Friday. According to the New York Post: Tumbleweeds could have rolled through the Paramus Park Mall in New Jersey yesterday as a symbol for the lack of stamina in the national kissing campaign. From Georgia to California, protests drew yawns…. Even in Atlanta, the
I hope this doesn’t happen to you when you join us this month (especially at the Chick Fil-A Preach-In on Friday. Details below.) But if it does, I hope you are as gracious as the man in the video when he was verbally assaulted at a Canadian Gay Pride event. Friday, August 10, 2012:
“The Christian Apology to Gay People” Controversy
I posted my article “Why I Will Apologize at the WeHo Pride Parade” to Facebook and was surprised at how some Christians actually thought I was carrying out a plan derived from the very pit of Hell itself!
Though most understood and agreed with my tactic, others didn’t:

Then he finished with:
Have you been to a “Gay Pride” parade? Have you seen the gross perversion that is
flaunted there? And shall you walk up and say,”Excuse me would you please stop performing [perverted acts] with that other man so I can apologize to you for all those bad things “Christians” have said about you?” Then you can tell them, “You can go back to mocking God when I’m finished!”
The fact that you are a “pastor”, an Ambassador of Christ and one who presents the “Gospel” to others… The message you give people may well be the only hope in their life ever and if it’s anything than the true “Gospel” then woe to you because you will stand before God and be judged accordingly… Your responsibility is much more than those who don’t pastor or teach… And in light of full disclosure, you seem like a nice guy and very likable… But so is Bill Clinton.
Love is choosing the highest good of another. In my subjective opinion, if you follow thru on your OP then I neither see you as loving the homosexuals, those who are observing you and you influence nor loving God. My advice would be to consider your ways and to proceed carefully… God’s loving kindness to you.
Another evangelist, from the East Coast who is very prominent in the news for getting arrested, expressed his disgust with this comment: Shame on you
One gay man joined the discussion, understood my purpose and affirmed it:
