Did You Know - Paul Barnes

From Playboy, April 2007...

Just weeks after Ted Haggard, the right-wing shill and chair of some right-wing religious organization, came out and admitted he was abusing drugs and homosexual prostitutes, one of his buddies came out as well. Paul Barnes, another right-wing preacher and ideologue, from Englewood, CO., who preached of the sins of homosexuality and the evils of a left-wing lifestyle, had to leave his pulpit after acknowledging that he's been a homosexual since he was 5-years-old. "I can't tell you the number of nights I have cried myself to sleep , begging God to take this away. Of all the things to be saddled with, why did it have to be this?"

Number one, Mr. Barnes, is that you are looking for a version of God that does not exist. He didn't give you the homosexuality and He won't take it away. Secondly, stop trying to be someone you are not - make peace with yourself and stop trying to preach lies about other gay people who have made that peace.

Hypocrite of the day.
