Church leaders everywhere need to stand against gay practices, of course, it’s in the scriptures ( they also need to stand against eating shellfish and pork, wearing cloth with two different fabrics, and menstruating women, but no one seems to do those). And whilst often those positions are steeped deep in bigotry, and amounts to nothing but cherry picking scripture, you can forgive that because some of them simply do not know of any better way to deal with what they perceive to be a menace.
But what one cannot forgive is this supposedly learned people and moral authorities peddling blatant untruths just to make their point. It’s the same mistake Manasseh made when he wrote a hate filled tirade against the practice.
