I have to wonder if this would have been handled the same way had Maya's sin been heterosexual in nature.

I doubt it. I would bet that her father and most of those on this board who are so upset with her would be much more tolerant.

In fact, I'd be willing to bet that many of those condemning her here have sinned, even sexually (like fornication or adultery).

The reason so many have the impression that she was completely cut off was because, if I remember correctly, she originally presented it that way.

That was my impression as well.

I share your suspicion.

I wonder who put her up to this ? I'd bet there is someone pushing the girl to cause him problems. No parent handles their kid being gay well. It's devastating, there are more people involved than just the gay person. And being as he is a preacher he will stick up for what he teaches because that's what he believes in his heart. People want to crucify him for standing up for his beliefs.
