And in 1973 by the American Psychiatric Association.
And in your dreams by the current administration.
And in your dreams, by a whole lot of other people, too. I was talking to a neighbor lady who lives across the courtyard in the apartment complex and we were talking about American Flag wavers and those who don't even vote.
According to the US Code for the Display of the American Flag there is ONLY one way to have a flag on civilian vehicle; but, she has several things with flags on them on her car, plus two small flags attached to the doors of her cars which wave when she drives on the street or the wind is blowing.
If a US flag is used with one's personal vehicle, it must be on a staff attached to the right front fender.
We had a sales tax question of Tuesday's ballot and I asked her, I forget her name, if she voted and she said she did. And during our continued conversation, she brought up about what would happen in the USA if she didn't vote and that included homosexuals taking over the country. She tried to tell me that a now dead missionary pastor said one time that he could see "homosexual demons" in people. Well, I could have told her how senile that old man, Lester Sumrall, got before he died and still preached, but, I didn't.
I did say, "If Sumrall happened to see a demon spirit in a person who was homosexual, the demon would have been related to something else." Then I told her about what her Victory Christian Center (VCC) pastor, Billy Joe Daugherty, said one time on a live-TV church program (held on the Oral Roberts University campus in the Mabee Center). Billy Joe decided to tell the congregation and the viewing audience at the Sunday Morning 8:30 am service "how to recognize the spirit of homosexuality." He proceeded to go through a long laundry list of "symptoms" of said "spriit."
I had the TV on while I was getting ready for my ride to my own church later that morning. I stopped what I was doing to listen to what Billy Joe said. When he finished, I "spoke" to the TV as though he was in the room and said, "Billy Joe, if what you said was true, you would know that at least one of your cameramen this morning is definitely homosexual."
When I got to the Family of Faith Metropolitan Community Church for the 11:00 am service, the person whom I knew was a member of FOFMCC and VCC, too, was there with his boyfriend. Both of those guys were volunteer camera operators earlier that morning. David and I talked about what Billy Joe said and had a laugh. Because VCC is a Pentecostal/Charismatic church, many gay people can enjoy worship there as long as nothing is said about homosexuals.
I have known Billy Joe since 1972. He used to be Assembly of God and was a youth pastor when I met him.
Several years later, David and I talked with a visiting minister in another church about how people think they know homosexuals and can recognize them, too. But, the have no idea as to what they are talking about.
