I wonder how Jesus would feel about this.
Probably something along the lines of:
Matt 8:22 "Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
But consider the following points...
1) From a legal standpoint, to avoid being sued for not conducting gay weddings, the church (probably) didn't want to set the precedent of conducting a gay funeral. Just goes to show the blowback when the pro-homosexuality forces abuse the judicial system.
2) Of course, finding out after agreeing to do the funeral created a tacky situation for the church, but since it was a Southern Baptist Church, the people requesting the funeral should have been able to predict the reaction if the church found out.
3) Come to think of it, why wasn't a homosexuality-approving denomination chosen by the friends/family of the dead gay? Sounds like a set-up to me.
Ban, please.
