[ahem!] Excuse me!
As someone who was raised in a normal Southern Baptist household and went to a staunch Baptist private elementary school…
…I’m not at all surprised! My very first sexual experience – which happened after I realized I was gay at age 19, thank you – was getting blown (consensually, that is) by a Methodist minister in the back of his car off some rural Arkansas road.
To paraphrase Shakespeare’s immortal words: methinks the pastor doth protest too much. 😉

“…He has also spoken out against same-sex marriage and in support of a Southern Baptist Convention directive urging its 42,000 churches to befriend gays and lesbians and try to convince them that they can become heterosexual “if they accept Jesus Christ as their savior and reject their ‘sinful, destructive lifestyle.”‘”
I always wonder about people who advocate that Gays and Lesbians should choose to live as if they were heterosexual. I always wonder about what they are wrestling with inside, and if their conviction that such a choice can be made is based on their own struggles with identity and their own choice to conform. I think anyone who can make a choice between being in a homosexual and a heterosexual relationship is by definition bisexual to some degree. I think that those who are not bisexual to some degree do not have a choice in the matter. In my opinion, one important role of religion in public policy should be to support and nurture loving, stable, and happy relationships of any kind, because loving, stable and happy people are productive participants in civil society, and that’s good for everyone.

“I was set up. I was in the area pastoring to police.”
Is that what the kids are calling it these days? I’m always up for a good pastoring…
