Priest yells at congregants that gays should be shot - Melbourne (thanks Turnbull)

I would like to again thank Malcolm Turnbull for causing this.

A Greek Orthodox priest has used the remembrance of a gay lady who died (some 40 day thing after the death that they do) to attack gays and gay marriage. Members of the congregation were horrified and walked out, at which time the priest yelled at them that "all gays should be shot".

In the congregation was the father of the gay girl who died, as well as some gay people including a young guy in tears as he'd only recently come out.

What despicable hatred. This whilst some are saying that christians are being persecuted by us for wanting equality.

Rather than reflecting on her friend’s life, however, Ms Tasiopoulos said the priest quickly used the service to attack same-sex marriage.

“He pointed out everyone was to vote no,” she wrote on the Greek Mums and Bubs Facebook page, a post which has since been reportedly been removed.

“Then one lady stood up and said, ‘I’ll vote yes.’ The priest (said), ‘shame on you’. She walked out, and then we all did as the girl we were there for was gay,” she wrote.

“As we walked, the priest said that all gays should be shot. He was yelling at us all standing in the rain.

“I’m so disgusted by all of this that I will never return [to] church again.”

 Ms Tasiopoulos said some gay people also walked out of the church.

“A young man was in tears. I tried to console him as he had only just had the courage to come out.

“I told him God loves you, we love you, ignore him, while the priest was screaming at us that it’s blasphemy.

“I can’t fathom this much hate on Father’s Day as (the deceased woman’s) father was having to listen 40 days after he laid his only daughter to rest.” News.com.au
