Rev. Lonnie W. Latham was a fire and brimstone, Bible-thumping anti-gay Baptist pastor and member of the executive committee of the Southern Baptist Convention. While clutching the Bible and praising Jesus, he exhorted homosexuals to reject their “sinful, destructive lifestyle.” Then, on January 3, 2006, Rev.
