ANTI-GAY PASTOR: Father Of 5 Quits Church After Getting Outed On Gay Hook Up Site Called ‘Grindr’
Those who scream the loudest are usually doing what they rage against. Please note that…

Reverend Matthew Makela of Midland worked at St John’s Lutheran Church where he was called a man who enjoyed ‘family, music, home improvement, gardening and landscaping, and sports’.
