Pastor eviscerates homophobia in the church
Want to see a minister mightily preach against anti-gay bigotry? Listen to Pastor E. Dewey Smith.
A YouTube clip of a sermon by the House of Hope, Greater Travelers Rest Church minister has been getting picked up by gay media sites because the Atlanta preacher brings the hammer to church homophobia.
First he points to the African-American church, specifically when it preaches anti-gay bigotry but is silent about the LGBTI members leading the choir.
‘We don’t say nothing about the gay choir director because he’s good for business,’ Smith says. ‘As long as the choir sounds good, I ain’t saying nothing about his sexuality.’
The minister argues this tactic is no different from slave holders.
‘We have done what the slave masters did to us. Dehumanize us, degrade us, demonize us, but then use them for our advantage.’
Don’t worry. He’s just getting warmed up. Smith adds if people are going to quote Leviticus, they should pass up shrimp and wool suits.
‘We pick and chose the Scriptures we want to beat folk up with, rather than look at our own lives,’ the minister says
The pastor keeps the truth rolling. He insists sin is human condition, not the property of one group. However, for those insisting LGBTI folk are an abomination, Smith offers advice:
‘Go find every song written by a gay person in the last hundred years and don’t sing it church. Let’s see how many songs you can minister on that Sunday.’
Below is the clip. Listen to all of it. Send it to your homophobic relatives. They won’t be the same. Neither will you.
