(AgapePress) - A former homosexual who is now married and proclaims that change is possible through Jesus says CBS News does not want to let the truth come out about the homosexual lifestyle.
Earlier this month a crew from the CBS program Sunday Morning interviewed Stephen Bennett, along with his wife and two children for a segment on same-sex marriage. Bennett says he was assured by the producer that the segment would mention that he is a former homosexual. However, Bennett says the network showed its pro-homosexual bias when CBS chose to air a segment that fell far short of what he was promised.
"The producer promised me she would make sure she left in my story of how I came out of the homosexual lifestyle -- and how I was a former gay man -- but she lied," Bennett says. "That was not anywhere to be found. What they did was nothing but a pro-gay puff piece, an infomercial marketing same-sex marriage to America. We were completely disturbed by what they did."
Bennett says the segment, which cut their 45-minute interview down to less than 60 seconds, only mentioned that he and his wife are against same-sex marriage for religious reasons. While he knew that only a few sound bites from the interview would be shown, Bennett says he never expected the network to distort his story. Still, he feels he understands why the media is biased.
"If people can change their homosexual behavior, the entire gay agenda's faulty foundation completely crumbles," he says. "The whole gay movement is based upon two pillars: the first one being the presupposition that one is born gay; and the second being that homosexuals cannot change, just like people cannot change their skin color."
Though Bennett says his phone calls to the producer of the segment have received no response, he remains determined to get the truth out. Bennett believes that the secular media will do all it can to keep America from hearing the message that, through Christ, homosexual men and women can change
