Gay Brownshirts Force Benedictor’s Withdrawal from Presidential Inauguration

It was inevitable. Louis Giglio, the evangelical pastor chosen to deliver the benediction at President Obama’s inaugural, has been forced to withdraw because it as discovered that he’s once said something heretical to the Zeitgeist. According to ABC:
Rev.  Louie Giglio, who had been announced as the pastor to give the benediction at the presidential inauguration, has now pulled himself out of the ceremony, after criticism of his previous anti-gay comments and actions, sources confirmed to ABC News.
Giglio, who is now Pastor at Passion City Church in Georgia and his role at Obama’s second inauguration was first announced Tuesday. But the liberal website Thinkprogress reported Wednesday on audio of Giglioi delivering a sermon in the mid-1990s in which he said homosexuality is a sin and advocated gay “recovery.”
Here is one passage from Giglio’s mid-90s sermon uncovered by Thinkprogress:
“We must lovingly but firmly respond to the aggressive agenda of not all, but of many in the homosexual community. … Underneath this issue is a very powerful and aggressive moment. That movement is not a benevolent movement, it is a movement to seize by any means necessary the feeling and the mood of the day, to the point where the homosexual lifestyle becomes accepted as a norm in our society and is given full standing as any other lifestyle, as it relates to family.“
Doubleplusungood!

Interestingly enough, given when this was preached, Giglio has been revealed to be something of a prophet, as well as a preacher of the truth of God’s word. The people at ThinkProgress, having no sense of irony of which they are aware, prove everything he said in this excerpt to now be true by virtue of their actions in forcing him out of a role that would have had nothing whatsoever to do with gay rights. He is being punished for nearly 20-year-old thoughtcrime. In fact, they go beyond what Giglio said then, in that they are not only seeking acceptance of homosexual behavior, but the punishment of thoughts and statements contrary to the new orthodoxy.
