Dozens gathered outside a Colorado church to protest Tuesday after a bereaved family said the pastor stopped a womans funeral when he found out she was a lesbian.
According to KMGH, Denvers New Hope Ministries ended Vanessa Colliers funeral Saturday after the minister saw a video tribute that showed Collier kissing her significant other, which the family had refused to edit. [ ]
The pastor who called off the funeral defended his actions to KCNC, saying he hadnt been aware of the video until right before the service, and that he gave the family the chance to edit it.

The Catholic church does not permit eulogies....it is a funeral mass...only the priest speaks. He may say a few brief words leading into his homily. They may back down for big wigs like in-hell cuomo, but they are just men and afraid of powerful govs like his evil son.
From want I understand, the deceased is no longer a Lesbian.
It wasn’t about the funeral; it was about flipping off Christians.
Too bad that sermon wasn't based on the story of the rich man and the beggar. In that story, the man who was 'comforted on earth' was being tormented, and the man who was 'tormented on earth' was being comforted. In that story the rich man never asked to exit the torment - he knew that he was where he deserved to be. All he ask was that someone tell his family that they don't want to go where he had gone.
God alone knows the heart, and this story communicates well what the thoughts of a man 'in torment' wants to say.
For the very reason that they can now publicly demonize it. The dead be damned.
