The operative word here is “California” I suspect.
I call a certain nuance of BS here.
As regards welcoming the gay community, I think that they always welcomed everyone to their church. The issue is recognition and acceptance of homosexual marriage. Gay behavior is considered sinful, but, under the concept of hate the sin and love the sinner, the gay community was always welcomed.
I’m not Southern Baptist, so someone correct me if I’m wrong. My understanding is that all who seek a relationship with the Lord and to be with the body of Christ will not be turned away. But having said that, such persons are asked to turn away from sin.
