Black Pastor Jailed For Refusing To Wed Gay Couple In US by MRLINGTON(m): 10:09pm On Jul 15, 2015 |
A pastor at the Christian Proctor Church in Vermont, has been sentenced to one year imprisonment for refusing to wed a gay couple. The Honorable Myron Danus in his verdict said, “Religious freedom goes both ways, Mr. Horner,” Danus told a packed courtroom. “It is not your place to deny individuals the same rights that everyone else has, rights that were passed down and agreed upon in a court of law, the ultimate court, the Supreme Court. It is not your decision whether or not you agree with the law but more importantly that you follow it and enforce it.” The Pastor, 56-year-old Paul Horner, had his lawyer speak to reporters on his behalf: “We are currently disputing the guilty verdict and I am confident my client will be a free man here shortly,” said attorney Tom Downey. “Horner was just using his best judgment according to his rights and religious freedom in this country.” NBC reports that the Christian Proctor Church is registered with the state as a “religious corporation” limited to performing “one-man-one- woman marriages as defined by the Holy Bible.” http://dailypost.ng/2015/07/15/black-pastor-jailed-for-refusing-to-wed-gay-couple-in-us/ 1 Like |

The argument dt gayism is biologically conditioned and therefore should be condoned is so lame n one very difficult to eradicate. It is like arguing dt theft is biologically conditioned and so thieves should go unpunished! |
