Instead of attempting to ignore a "preacher" spewing homophobic
rants, a gay New York City subway rider decided to confront him.
On Saturday, a street preacher went on an anti-gay tirade on one of NYC's subway lines,
according to New York Mag's Daily Intelligencer. The preacher yelled
about society's poor influence on children, likened gay men to
pedophiles and claimed "Michael Jackson died because he was gay" to a
crowded subway car.
But one straphanger wasn't having it.
"You teach hate," the man, wearing a khaki coat and a large fur hat,
responded. "You are false. You are a false prophet. Do not listen to
this man. He’s scared. He’s full of hatred.”
The man continued to stand his ground and revealed that yes, he is
gay, and yes, God still loves him. "I'm a man. And I'm a good man," he
said. "And I'm a gay man and Jesus loves me! Jesus loves me!"
The gay man's eloquence moved his fellows riders so much that it was met by a rousing round of applause.

wow good on that guy! if i was there i wouldve probably punched that black dude. what an ass. My blood was boiling watching this cus no one was standing up for the guy with the hat. But then they all applauded. Spreading hatred is not the way though. All we can do is love and respect each other.
