OMAHA, Neb. -- Nebraska assistant coach Ron Brown says he'll keep speaking out against homosexuality even if it costs him his job. "To be fired for my faith would be a greater honor than to be fired because we didn't win enough games," Brown said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I haven't lost any sleep over it. I realize at some point, we live in a politically correct enough culture where that very well could happen." Brown earned national acclaim for leading a prayer at midfield before the Cornhuskers' game at scandal-torn Penn State six months ago. He has been under fire recently for testifying against an anti-discrimination ordinance that extended protections to gay and transgender people. To be fired for my faith would be a greater honor than to be fired because we didn't win enough games. -- Ron Brown In Brown's three-minute appearance, he challenged ordinance sponsor Ben Gray and other members to remember the Bible does not condone homosexuality. He told council members they would be held to "great accountability for the decision you are making." "The question I have for you all is, like Pontius Pilate, what are you going to do with Jesus?" Brown asked. "Ultimately, if you don't have a relationship with him, and you don't really have a Bible-believing mentality, really, anything goes... At the end of the day, it matters what God thinks most." Barbara Baier, a member of the Lincoln Board of Education, wrote to university administrators to request Brown's firing in the wake of his testimony. She noted the university-wide policy not to discriminate based on, among other things, sexual orientation.

Well if they don’t fire him, Nebraska just got a new number one fan.
Go Huskers!
If they fire him, then I have a new Christian example to show my grandkid how to stand up for her faith.
Well, I have that now anyway. :-)
Go Ron!
Ron Brown's "sexual orientation" is to speak out against the sin of homosexuality.

(Great idea. I’m going to start using that as a post on FR. This is the first time I’ve seen it. Thanks.)
Amen!
He said gays and lesbians do not deserve the same protections as groups that historically have been discriminated against, such as blacks and women.
"The scriptures teach that blacks were created by God, that women were created by God, but that homosexuals ... that is not what God had in mind at all," Brown said.
Brown said his words should not be interpreted as an attack on homosexuals.
"I have simply said that based on the Bible, homosexuality, the lifestyle of homosexuality, is a sin," he said. "That has created a flame within itself. But I've decided I'm not going to be afraid of people calling me a bigot or a homophobic or narrow-minded out of a simple, gentle, compassionate expression of the truth of God's word. I'm not going to be bought off by that."
Barbara Baier should be fired due to her lack of tolerance of others in their diversity.
Actually to be fired for his faith would be a greater honor than to be HIRED because he won a lot of games.
Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:10)

The gaystapo and lavender mafia will work to end his career.
Prayers for Ron Brown and his continued standing tall for his faith.
“ordinance sponsor Ben Gray”
At first I thought that was Ben Gay.
What a great name for a band: Ben Gay and the Homos.
But it’s o.k. for Muslims to be anti-gay.

The gay mafia will not tolerate intolerance and the anti Christian bigots will brook no bigotry. So it was written.......
