Disciples of Christ make good on threat to move convention out of Indiana over anti-gay law
“We are particularly distressed at the thought that, under the current version of SEA 101, some of our members and friends might not be welcome in some Indiana businesses — might experience legally sanctioned bias and rejection once so common on the basis of race.”
Did you know that one of their most famous pastors was Jim Jones?
You know. The koolaid pastor. Jonestown and all.
Did you know this about Pastor Jim Jones?That he fucked a male member of the Church in front of his followers to prove the member was gay?
Yeah Yeah that's the ticket. He really was hetero but he screwed men in his congregation to "connect".
Homosexuality and other matters
On December 13, 1973, Jones was arrested and charged with
soliciting a man for sex in a movie theater bathroom known for
homosexual activity, near
MacArthur Park in Los Angeles.
The man was an
undercover Los Angeles Police Department vice officer. Jones is on record as later telling his followers that he was "the only true heterosexual", but at least one account exists of his sexual abuse of a male member of his congregation in front of the followers, ostensibly to prove the man's own homosexual tendencies.
While Jones banned sex among Temple members outside of marriage, he himself voraciously engaged in sexual relations with both male and female Temple members.
Jones, however, claimed that he detested engaging in homosexual activity and did so only for the male temple adherents' own good, purportedly to connect them symbolically with him (Jones).
