Quote of the Day: Atlanta pastor Louis Giglio

Ron Ribiat

And right in the midst of that passage, right in the middle of that verse it says “and those who are homosexual.” It’s clear.”

— Atlanta pastor Louis Giglio, in a mid-1990s sermon unearthed by ThinkProgress, preaching against homosexuality. Giglio withdrew Thursday from offering the benediction at President Obama’s inaugural cermonies.
