An Arlington church volunteered to host a funeral Thursday, then reneged on the invitation when it became clear the dead man's homosexuality would be identified in the service

1. Arlington WHERE?

We have an Arlington here in Oregon.

There is a big military cemetery called Arlington outside of Washington DC I am told.

Many people who fear homosexuals are often closet gays (even from themselves). I have seen this again and again.

3. AS a Christian, this is one of the most repugnant things I have witnessed

Though of little consolation.....I apologice on behalf of Christians everywhere.
