The Presidential Inauguration Committee announced Tuesday that the President Obama has selected Pastor Louie Giglio to offer the benediction for his second inauguration. In a mid-1990s sermon identified as Giglio’s, available online on a Christian training website, he preached rabidly anti-LGBT views. The 54-minute sermon, entitled “In Search of a Standard – Christian Response to Homosexuality,” references a biblical passage often interpreted to require gay people be executed, and impels Christians to “firmly respond to the aggressive agenda” and prevent the “homosexual lifestyle”. The sermon can be found at http://tinyurl.com/ammxbxz The Pastor has not responded to questions about whether his views have changed.
