And what was loving about the way they treated this dead sinner?
That being said, they should not glorify the sin so as to be seen as "compassionate". The funeral should not be hijacked into a fagfest just so that Christians can be seen as "compassionate". That's the ultra left, liberal, homo spin on it.
According to the article, the church withdrew their offer once they found that the man had a partner. So it seems that they had no idea he was homosexual to begin with, which also seems to shoot the 'love the sinner' claim right out the window. The lesson obviously is that the church should have asked a few questions before making the offer. And having made the invitation and then withdrawing it, I think their sending food and offering to pay the family to go somewhere else was insulting to say the least.
