Love Over Hatred: Hunt for the blood of homosexuals makes pastor scared for humanity

As opposed to lynching gay people, Pastor Charles Awuzie proposed extending love to them.

Pastor Charles Awuzie, who reportedly runs a Christian ministry in South Africa, has raised concerns over the hatred for gay folks.

He brought attention to a social media user's response to his comment discouraging violence against people considered as homosexuals.

 

Awuzie, who referred to the lynching of two gay people in Aba, Abia State, was shocked after reading opinions endorsing the killing of individuals whose sexual orientation differs from the regular straight.

As opposed to slaughtering homosexuals, Pastor Charles Awuzie proposed a show of love. He considers this a better chance of affecting change.

“I posted about gays being lynched in Aba and this brother said they DESERVED TO BE KILLED. Chai. Religion is wicked.

"No gay deserves to die. They deserve to be loved and shown Christ like every other human.

"Religious Nigerians share same extremist tendency with Boko Haram – no difference. I just hope you all are seeing the Wickedness of religion.

"I am not gay… I am very straight…. But I love gays enough to put my reputation on the ground and defend their blood. That’s love.

"Love is not defending tithe and false prophets, love is defending HUMANITY," the clergyman wrote.
