I stumbled on to this page in a search for some enlightenment on the debate so I might communicate with a “poor Fundamentalist preacher” who has become a very good friend of mine. I’m hetero with three grown kids, one of whom is transgengered. I can see he is seriously hung up on even talking about it on a personal level because I think, it might challenge his comforting position with the Bible as a fundamentalist. This man and his family suffer (poor in the very physical sense) as he goes throughout the country seeking a flock to shepherd. On his website he unleashes a preaching wrath upon those living the “alternative” lifestyle. Sad, because there is so much inspiration in everything else he preaches. Please join me in prayers for him and his family.
