    1. gotta love when you’re told your entire life something is not accepted by your community then you cry when you’re not accepted

  1. How can “she” be a woman if “she” can’t give birth? and btw, this is a transvestite, another word that vanished

    1. It’s a win for that Church, discouraging to see only slightly above 50 percent knew having him teaching scripture was wrong

  2. That parish is not worthy of such a pastor. I wouldn’t be surprised to find them dancing around a golden calf or hailing an orange buffoon.

    1. I used to love seeing the Pride Parade. Talk about dancing around half naked like silly freaks.

    2. My Church has a trans pastor and 34% are LGBT. Yeah!!! When you are a nuisance to your fellow Church members.

    3. @Diana Mathew How? Perhaps your fellow Church members behave in poor manner, well! I guess we are as made – different from one another.

    4. @Jakob Raahauge No, they all joined and started the Private Church. They are all nice and supportive and PROUD. Well, when you said … behave in a poor manner, what did the pastor do???? Accepting her… Accepting oneself is the bravest act for oneself.

  3. It would seem that human rights are now our societal religion, and that all others are being forced to conform. Auguste Comte would’ve loved to see this if he wasn’t (likely) burning in hell.

  4. “Shared her truth.” Lie. No such thing as your truth, my truth. Only the truth. You can share your thoughts. You can share your opinions. You can only share the truth.

    Abandoned the suicidal insanity of contemporary western culture for truth.
    Devoted disciple of Jesus since 2018.

    1. *Devoted disciple of first-century Jewish preacher, who was and forever will be penultimate.

  5. I feel so horrible for her. She should be accepted no matter what body she is in. No matter who she loves or who she chooses to be.

    1. @Sarah Hicks There is a difference between tolerance & accepting their views. Considering this is a Church and they uphold different principles than the State….no one there is obligated to accept her or him.

    1. @taso denpei What????? Who are you to say to me not to comment. I have a safe place with no terfs and no transphobes….

  6. LGBTQ’s are forcing their views on others. Huge difference between tolerance & now pushing your views.

  7. 1:07 Indeed. Against scripture is correct. You have disconnected and are denying your biological self. How can you spread the truth?

  8. Lmao…what did they think was gonna happen? They have every right to select a pastor that believes the creator the same way they do…how it is…if you want diversity watch the news

  9. “Her truth”.. heh, the correct term for that is a delusion… there is only “the truth”.. not every person on earth can have a different version of truth… come back to reality.
