Seems Pastor Van Noy can speak out both sides of his mouth.

He claims to not be homophobic, but demonstrates he is throughout his speech.

He finds baking a cake for a same-sex wedding is somehow demonic, instead of a Christian opportunity to show unconditional caring for someone whose lifestyle is different than his.

He speaks of pushing back, and compares an “aggressive” homosexual community to ISIS. Any shred of credibility he had was lost in that sentence.

This doesn’t sound like a man who asked The Press to make it clear that “he values the freedoms of all individuals and groups.” I guess he means, “I value the freedoms of all individuals and groups who think like me.”
