Shunned by the Church: A Gay Man and a Preacher

From The Enemies Project.

Tyler attended ministry school, hoping to become an Evangelical preacher. Ultimately, he came clean: he is gay. Everyone he loved then turned away. Jonathan is an Evangelical preacher. He believes being gay is a sin — and God’s law is not his to change. These men both ask: What would Jesus do?

This is the story of America’s broken Christian family.
