Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed on Monday
suspended Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran for self-publishing a book that
describes gays as “unclean.”
Saying he was “disappointed” to
learn about the book, Reed suspended Cochran for a month without pay.
“I profoundly disagree with and am
deeply disturbed by the sentiments expressed in the paperback
regarding the LGBT community,” said Reed, who
two years ago endorsed marriage equality. “I will not tolerate
discrimination of any kind within my administration."
The book, titled Who
Told You That You Were Naked, is being sold at Amazon.com and
BanesAndNoble.com. In one passage, Cochran describes being gay as a
“perversion.”: “Uncleanness – whatever is opposite of purity;
including sodomy, homosexuality, lesbianism, pederasty, bestiality,
all other forms of sexual perversion.”
“Naked men refuse to give in, so they
pursue sexual fulfillment through multiple partners, with the
opposite sex, the same sex and sex outside of marriage and many other
vile, vulgar and inappropriate ways which defile their body-temple
and dishonor God,” he writes elsewhere in the book.
The
GA Voice reported that Cochran's author page identifies him
as a “devout Christian man” whose “greatest desire is to
fulfill the purpose of God for his life.”
Out city council member Alex Wan told
the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution that the mayor should investigate
whether LGBT employees have been affected by Cochran's views.
So, because homosexual sex is considered unclean it's a sin?
Then explain this:
Leviticus 15:16-18, "And if any man's seed of copulation
go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be
unclean until the even. And every garment, and every skin, whereon is
the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until
the even.
This is speaking of sex between a man and a woman.
But there's also this to consider...
Anything that is considered a "sin" in the Old Testament requires a blood sacrifice. No exceptions. If a sin is involved, there must be the shedding of blood, period!
