Well this is certainly is very courageous. The outcome is also going to be interesting and there ought to (hopefully) be a lot of constructive debate and discussions by the public. This is really a clash of the Constitutional Rights. The right to free speech, religion and association vs the right to dignity, association and non-discrimination on the basis of orientation etc on the other. There is certainly NOT going to be an outcome which says that a Christian can NEVER put across the biblical views on homosexuality. So the vexing question is where and when can a Christian do so? In church, one would think, but what if a member sitting in the church is offended by it? Has his / her rights been violated? Is it correct to say “The biblical view is that being gay is sinful” but not correct to say “Gay people are sinners”?
In this case, the pastor overstepped the schools mandate and went into a topic which would offend people. Once again it is a case of people loosing sight of the fact that the country is governed by a Constitution and not the Bible.
