Gay preachers. They're dropping like flies. Ya gotta feel sorry for them....they're GAY, and that's how it is. Yet, in an intolerant environment, you can't be who you are. Therefore, you preach hellfire and damnation for the very thing you're "guilty" of.
Shame on all of those evangelicals who can't find it in their hearts to forgive.
NYT...Mr. Barnes said in his address that he had struggled with his attraction to men since he was 5, The Post said. The only time Mr. Barnes said he had talked to his father about sex, his father told him what he would do if a gay man, for which he used a derogatory term, walked up to him.
Mr. Barnes recalled thinking, “ ‘Is that how you’d feel about me?’ It was like a knife in my heart, and it made me feel even more closed,” The Post said.

Justin Lee, a self-described gay evangelical, said many men had written messages to his Web site, gaychristian.net, telling of anguish similar to what Mr. Barnes described.
“The church has created a double standard that all of us are sinful and have temptations and need to be open about that — unless you’re gay,” Mr. Lee said.
