Members of Regina’s LGTBQ2S+ community gathered in front of Regina Victory Church Sunday, a week after its pastor delivered a rather controversial sermon.
During a sermon titled “Raising Godly Children”, Pastor Terry Murphy spoke about a statistic showing nearly 16 percent of Gen Z respondents identify as LGBT. He went on to say that normalizing being gay is like normalizing pedophilia.
Event organizer Nathan Labatt says he wanted to make sure everyone who was upset by the speech had their voice heard.
“I saw there was a need for people who weren’t able to share their voice or were feeling a little bit shy to do so,” said Labatt. “It was really important for us to stand strong and do this, and just spread a little bit of love and kindness, it’s the name of the event, it’s something we want to make sure we push today.”
REGINA Regina residents and local businesses are reacting with a show of support for LGBTQ2S+ people after a pastor’s message was called homophobic by some community members. On Sunday, Pastor Terry Murphy gave a sermon at Regina Victory Church that has since been condemned by many in the community. The sermon was livestreamed on Facebook. Murphy’s sermon compared members of the LGBTQ2S+ community to pedophiles and expressed the belief that sex should only occur “between a man and a woman.” Terry Van Mackelberg said he will be submitting a complaint to the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission.
