Do you remember reading about the woman who allowed (and encouraged) her son to dress up as Daphne from Scooby Doo for Halloween? Her son attended a Christian preschool at the time, and the moms at the preschool expressed horror that she had allowed him to dress up like a girl. Hence her tongue-in-cheek blog post title, “My son is gay.”
Well, she’s written an epilogue to her story. Although she did not name the moms or the church (or even her hometown), the pastor at the church has been bullying her to take down the post or apologize to the moms who she “bear false witness against.” And that she should stop “promoting gayness.”
In short, first the son was bullied (by the moms, not the children), and now the mom is being bullied–by the pastor and the church community.
No wonder gays and lesbians (or people who love them) do not feel welcomed or accepted in most churches.
It’s stories and people like this that make me feel embarrassed to even say that I’m a Christian. I do not want to have anything to do with “Christians” like this. And I think she should publicize the name of the church and the pastor. Bear some true witness, sister.
