Church Cancels Funeral After Discovering Decorated Vet Was Gay

Here's another example (http://www.365gay.com/Newscon07/08/081007service.htm) of loving "Christians" who will not provide a funeral for a Navy veteran who died while awaiting a heart transplant after learning he was gay. If you ask me, Pastor Simons, pictured at left, looks pretty gay himself.

Sinclair was not a member of any church. His brother was a member of High Point Church and when Sinclair's health began to fail members of the congregation prayed for him. The nondenominational church is led by the Rev. Gary Simons, the brother-in-law of televangelist Joel Osteen.

When Sinclair died High Point offered to host a funeral. But the offer suddenly and at the last minute was rescinded, the Dallas Morning News reports, when the church discovered Sinclair was gay. Sinclair's sexuality came to light, the paper reports, when the family submitted photographs of Sinclair's life that it wanted to display at the funeral. Among the pictures where photo's of Sinclair hugging and his partner, Paul Wagner.

High Point Church just reached its lowest point. Abhorrent, deviant, and appalling. Is Fred Phelps contagious, or is FEAR that pervasive in this country?

Oh yeah. This minister's probably a good friend of that Haggard fellow. What an ASSHOLE.
