Former Charlotte pastor's 'If I have gay children' blog goes viral.
By Chris Dyches

A blog written by a former Charlotte pastor entitled If I Have Gay Children has gone viral after he outlined the steps he would take if his children turned out to be homosexual.

Pastor John Pavlovitz wrote the blog on Sept. 17 and says it has been read more than 1.5 million people on his website since he posted it.

He says that as a Christian he has interacted people who "find homosexuality to be the most repulsive thing imaginable, and who make that abundantly clear at every conceivable opportunity."

He says there are simple steps he will take if his children are homosexual: he'll love them, accept them and pray for them.

"I won't pray that God will heal or change or fix them. I will pray for God to protect them; from the ignorance and hatred and violence that the world will throw at them, simply because of who they are," he wrote in his blog.

There is a great deal out there, one just has to take the time to look for them. It's not sexy or controversial enough for the msm.
