I’ve always believed that funerals are for the living. I have sympathy for this family. They did nothing wrong, except love and honor their son.
Whatever happened to hate the sin, love the sinner. I think this pastor needs to examine his motives and spend some time in prayerful meditation.

By allowing the service, he accepts the sin of the homosexual.
By accepting the sin, it becomes his.
The Preacher is doing the right thing, irrespective of whatever grief he may get from the family or others whose Christianity apparently is not grounded and rooted in the Bible.

The cancellation had to do with the deceased having a "husband". The church could not acknowledge that and honor God. They chose to honor God.

If forced to hold the funeral, the pastor could’ve said he was now suffering because of his lifestyle. Proper thing to do.

Hate the sin, right.
But to honor and pay respect to that sin in church? No freaking way.
