10,000 FA Members to LGBT Youth: Abusing Gay Children is Not Christian

Last week, North Carolina pastor Sean Harris made national news with a sermon calling on parents to physically abuse gay children.

With only days remaining before a statewide vote on a constitutional amendment banning all legal recognition of same-sex unions, Pastor Sean Harris of Berean Baptist Church told his congregants: "Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up. Give him a good punch."

Once the sermon came to public attention, Harris tried to retract some of his remarks. But for the families of LGBT youth who heard his tirade, the damage has already been done.

In response, Faithful America members have spoken out to condemn Pastor Harris's remarks and send a clear message to LGBT youth that he is distorting the message of Christ and violence and child abuse can never be justified by the teachings of Christianity.

Over 10,000 people have already signed the petition. Will you join them?
