Pentecostalists Offended by Gay Camp Advertisement

A group of gay Christians is organizing a summer camp. When the group wanted to place an advertisement in Sweden’s largest Christian newspaper, Dagen, the editor-in-chief Elisabeth Sandlund said no. “A large portion of our readership would be offended by an ad of this kind which deals with open homosexuality,” she says.

Closeted homosexuality and self-hatred have never been a problem to Dagen’s Pentecostal readership. But when gay people show their love in public without shame, it really turns their stomachs. Personally, I am offended by homophobic Pentecostalism.
