SOT, Anetter Detering, Former Green party politician and GayChurch Berlin activist (German): "God we need your powerful love to support the fight for freedom of LGBT people in Poland, Russia, and Hungary as a fight for our freedom from ourselves."
Berlin's Gethsemane Church held a service under the motto 'homophobia is a sin,' on Saturday, ahead of a Pride march in the German capital.

Sign says: "Homophobia is a sin."
Wolfgang Beyer from GayChurch Berlin spoke at the service saying, "God is not the problem, he does not hate homosexuality because it comes from him, nothing can be taken from him when people feel what was given to them as a gift from God."
Bishop of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia Christian Stablein also addressed the attendees.
"Renewing the confession means that in place of the sentence 'homosexuality is sin,' a sentence that was never true, one that you have heard so far too often, and which I will not repeat again, that the sentence 'Homophobia is sin' takes its place," said Stablein.
After the service Berlin's first 'East Pride' Christopher Street Day march was set to start from outside the church. The demo aims to honour the history of the LGBTQ struggle in East Germany, while also highlighting the ongoing discrimination and hostility suffered by the LGBTQ community in Eastern Europe.

It is not a “fear” of it, it is simply pure disgust.
Homosexuality is sin.
Homophobia is a made up self-serving nonsense term used to browbeat people into rejecting Scriptural truths.
Define Homophobia.
“God is not the problem, he does not hate homosexuality because it comes from him,
= = =
So then, let’s consider Murder, Rape, Torture, Human Traffiking, and more of this ilk.
I suppose these come from God also.
Woe unto them who call evil good and good evil...
Church of the Deceiver.
From the NASB bible...
1 Corinthians 6:9
9Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [g]homosexuals,
10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
11Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and [h]in the Spirit of our God.
([g] 9 Two Gr words in the text, prob. submissive and dominant male homosexuals)
And the proper term is Homomisia, a REVULSION of thing homosexual, not homophobia. Do homos scare anyone. I learned that term from a FReeeper several years back.
Also goes for Islamomisia.
This post would get me another 30 days in Facebook jail!
It’s not ‘Homophobia’, it Homo-Nausea.
I guess by modern day standards, Lot and the Angels were Homophobic just before God destroyed the city of Sodom with fire and brimstone.
Sounds like a church of satan.
The most “homophobic” person I ever knew came out of the closet ten years ago. Thank God he is celibate and not killing himself with AIDS. “Homophobic” is not the same as believing that conduct is not appropriate.
Anyone that doesn’t genuflect before the altar of sodomy
??? Which “god” are you referring to there, Wolf? Because, you’re not referring to the God of the Bible.
Homosexuality coming from the prince of this world? Yeah, sure, who else? But not the God of the Old and New Testaments.
False teachers, false prophets, even Wolfgangs in sheep’s clothing … these times have it all!
Weimar Germany returns
Do you think that Wolfgang Beyer could provide a compelling chapter and verse to prove that “homophobia” is a sin? I didn’t think so. He needs to remember an important spiritual truth - only God gets to define sin.
They got it exactly backwards.
