Another anti-gay pastor resigns after gay dating profile discovered

All vocal homophobes are self-denying gay people.

No, I'm sure some of them are plain old fashioned bigots.  I mean, that's kinda like suggesting that all vocal anti-Semites are secretly Jewish.

yeah I agree. It might be a great boon to cause some mental scaring to homophobes by suggesting they are gay themselves, but while there are going to be some examples of closeted gay people who hate themselves as much as other gay people, its usually just an indoctrinated bigoted asshole.

The amount of times I've sent gay porn gifs to these people on forums when they tout some homophobic rhetoric, the most satisfying part is them reacting to it.

Between this, and Josh Duggard's confession - things are looking just swell for conservative Christian family values this year.

A married Michigan reverend with five children who publicly came out against homosexuality has resigned from his associate pastor job after his profile on the gay hook-up app Grindr was exposed.

Reverend Matthew Makela of Midland worked at St John's Lutheran Church where he was called a man who enjoyed 'family, music, home improvement, gardening and landscaping, and sports'.

During his time at the church, Makela reportedly made negative statements about the gay and transgender communities and once compared homosexuality to alcoholism.

In a comment that has since been removed from a Midlands Daily News story, Makela wrote: 'I love people who have same sex attraction, and so does God.

'The proof is in the sacrifice He made for all of us who sin... We don’t tell a person born with tendencies to abuse alcohol to keep on giving in to his innate desires because he can’t help it.

'We try to help him in his struggle.'

He also made unkind comments about gay and transgender people on his Facebook page, according to Queerty.

Screenshots obtained by the site reveal Makela called himself a 'top' who loved 'make out naked and cuddle' as well as 'oral and massage'.

He confirmed the Grindr profile was real, according to Queerty.

When word of the profile reached church officials, Makela decided to step down.

Well he certainly wasn't lying about the bolded part.
