Related: About this forumMan Unfriended After Posting Pics Of Gay Brother’s Wedding – His Amazing Response
http://samuel-warde.com/2013/09/man-unfriended-posting-pics-gay-brothers-wedding-amazing-response/David Stevens, a straight man, is very proud of his younger brother, who happens to be gay. Stevens was honored to attend his brothers wedding. He posted some pictures of the wedding on Facebook and one of his Facebook friends, a former coworker and current Baptist preacher, unfriended him with this note:
Hey David, I am removing you from my friends list. Sorry man, that latest post is way over the top. Homosexuals joining in holy matrimony? I dont think so. The holy bible speaks out against homosexuality and speaks highly of holy matrimony between a man and a woman. Its nothing more than a slap in the face to those who choose Gods word for homosexual s to join in a holy marriage. Im only defriending you so I dont have to look at your anti-God stuff anymore nothing personal.
Stevens response was emotional, loving and simply amazing.

And it brings me to tears. I've had moments where everything just falls into place and I understand something, for better or worse, those are powerful times. That he was brave enough to share one of his moments with the world speaks well of him and truly has an impact on others.
Thanks for posting.

otherwise, I would pine for that man. He is sublime. There is an annoying voice in the back of my mind saying, you know, there are others like him....... but I'm pretty strong willed and at 50 years of age after three poly breakups and an awareness that monogamy is something I will never want, singledom is my choice and a happy one.
That said, wow, just wow.
