Pastor Stands Up for LGBT Equality…Really…Just Keep Watching

As the Rev. Dr. Phil Snider begins speaking before the Springfield, MO city council, I breathe in. “Any accurate reading of the Bible makes it clear that gay rights goes against the word of God.”

Oh no. Here we go…

The video was making the rounds as a clip with a supposedly LGBT-inclusive spin. Perhaps I’d been taken in.

I keep watching…

“Man, in overstepping the boundary lines God has drawn by making special rights for gays and lesbians, has taken another step in inviting the judgment of God upon our land.”

Well then.

But Rev. Snider, a native of Springfield and pastor of Brentwood Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), takes a brilliant turn. His commentary has all been direct quotes of white pastors decrying racial integration. He has merely replaced “racial integration” with “gay rights.”

Making the point, of course, that Biblical gay bashing is about as logical as Biblical white supremacy.

Love this guy.

His speech is definitely worth a watch:
