His post was crystal clear to those that can read. sexual deviancy, and it’s long term effects like AIDS, other diseases, criminal activity, the breakdown of family stability, etc. is not “good” long term for “society” in any way.. but you won’t acknowledge this or answer honestly.

Far be it for me to not pile on, but I’ll point out a couple of things:
1) the plaques will be moved to another part of the church
2) the altar is to worship God, not previous members

That was my initial reaction as well-- unsafe?CFB Apologist wrote:In what universe.. even a far left communist one.... in what universe is a statue of George Washington.. “unsafe”??. I am asking a serious question. What person entering that church is in danger of anything with that memorial? Is the memorial going to come to life and be mean to a tranny? Serious question
