A northern California church is under fire after displaying an anti-LGBTQ message on the sign outside of the parish that reads, “Bruce Jenner is still a man, homosexuality is still a sin.” Now, members of the community are protesting Trinity Bible Presbyterian Church in an effort to align with those who may feel threatened.
Amelia Mallory is one of three local Lake Shastina moms who have come together to orchestrate the Shastina Love Rally to protest the sign after seeing a photo of it on Facebook. And although Mallory is aware that she lives in a predominantly conservative area, she tells Yahoo Lifestyle that it’s still shocking to see that kind of message in your own backyard.
“The sign itself is walking that fine line between truth and fiction,” Mallory says. “If religion is a belief someone holds and uses as a tool to be a better human, I’m totally in favor of it. But as a mom, I would hate for anyone to tell my kids they were in any way less because of something they really don’t have control over.”

For those unaware, Lake Shastina is in Weed, CA.
North of Redding, and beautiful.
Does he or does he not have his package? For half a million I’d say I don’t. Go ahead with it? Not for half a million.
So much for free speech and freedom of religion. Perhaps this “mom” could use the sign as a teaching moment to her kids and explain her view. But then again if she tried, her brain might explode.
So the article buries the fact that the sign was vandalized, presumably by those in agreement with the protesters, in the last paragraph. Which crosses a line, but is not discussed at all, vs. the moralizing against the church so obvious early in the article.
Completely intellectually dishonest.
You’re either XY or XX. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Bruce Jenner has his junk so he’s nothing but a crossdresser.
Why is that so politically incorrect?
‘Bruce Jenner is still a man’.......until he manages to get a DNA transplant.
Is being a man "less" than being a woman? I don't see where the Church sign says Jenner is "less" because he's still a man.
Finally. A Presbyterian church with a backbone.
What a foolish, foolish woman!
Wishful thinking will NOT change biology. Bruce Jenner was born a man who had a treatable mental disorder. For a lot of dollars, his mental disorder was ignored and countered with drugs and hormones.
He can take all the drugs and hormones he wants, but if he stops taking them he will revert to what he was born as, a man.
Why would this woman want to cater to someone who has a treatable mental disorder? Whose money does she want to spend on a lifetime of taking hormones, drugs, and maybe sex reassignment surgery? The sex reassignment surgery is not entirely reversible. It would be expensive, too.
“Bruce Jenner has his junk so he’s nothing but a crossdresser.”
If he no longer had his junk, he would just be a man who cut his junk off. Still not a woman.
Bruce Jenner is still XY.
It’s not because of the Bible! It’s human nature that doesn’t change!
They should have referenced Islam, the koran or the hadith, then watch them lose their minds
Correct. Maybe a gelding or a castrato (even the latter noun's gender is male), but still genetically male.
There’s a local church in Baltimore that does a daily radio spot. The pastor is a strong Christian and political conservative. (we’ve met and he’s the real deal.)
Yesterday, he told of Mattel caving in to the homosexual onslaught and introducing same sex Barbie.
He described the “Sodomite Couple” and how they have to get their agenda across.
One of them was quoted as saying “Love is love.” The pastor responded with “Sin is sin too.”
It’s so refreshing to know that not everyone is caving in.

Bible Presbyterian Church denomination. NOT PCUSA.
Call yourself a woman or a marmot or a sloth. Just keep it to yourself and your buds in the privacy of your house or closet.
Nobody wants to see it except a small cadre of perverts
