AP gives coverage to another fishy ex-gay preacher, Bill Henson

‘What I’m going for is … without changing the church’s policy, to create a safe place for gay people to experience a journey of discovering God in our midst… What we’ve really created is a nice, comfortable gospel for us, but then we use that to inflict heavily on others who sin in the ways we don’t.”

Bill Henson telling the Associated Press that he’s yet another “former homosexual” who wants to make his mark on the world by convincing gays that they are “sinful.” This heterosexually-married, former marketer admits to the news agency that, even after founding the ridiculously-named “Fish On The Other Side” ministry, he’s “not 100% free of same-sex attractions.” (AP)
