A North Carolina Pastor told his congregation it was okay to "punch" and "crack the wrist" of boys acting effeminant or girls acting "butch". He did later, under pressure, retract some by saying he was not advocating child cruelty. He even gave his flock a "special dispensation" for taking physical action to squash such action "like a cockroach". All this in advance of the upcoming vote to legalize same sex marriages in North Carolina. Isn't it great how the Church promotes love and understanding?
