Yet another disingenuous apology/retraction from yet another Christian right asshole. After claiming to apologize for the language he used Baptist pastor Sean Harris then made it clear he did not feel sorry in anyway for the sentiment by adding, "However, I do not apologize for the manner in which the Word of God articulates sexual immorality, including homosexuality."
His lame excuse that what he said was meant to be a joke simply doesn't wash. After watching the video clip only a brain dead humorless prick could see anything resembling joviality in his delivery. His tone is serious throughout. There is nothing in his demeanor, gestures, or expression that even hints at a joke. It isn't just his comment about snapping back a "limp wrist" or punching the boy for seeming to be gay. He goes on to reveal himself to be not only an intolerant homophobic child abusing bigot but a sexist pig as well. He basically says that girls should be more concerned with being pretty than anything else.
This is a man of God? There was some slight laughter in the background but it is too faint to tell if it was of the nervous/uncomfortable variety. If it was perhaps there are a few decent human beings in his congregation. But why did they stay in their pews? Believe in God, don't believe in God, either way if this is the type of shit this man spews on a regular basis why put up with it?
