What I find issue with here, is the fact that this Chaplain did what he did under the banner of Christ, which, in my view, is defamation against Christ himself.

But I think we all know that he was probably just trying to pray his own Gay away.

Would he have gotten in trouble if this was said in a mosque?

This comment wins the thread. Excellent, excellent point and I think we all know that the answer is "no."
This guy said these things in his own church. Whatever your stance on WHAT he said, it was said in his place of faith, NOT a public institution. I hope this level of interference in faith never comes to America.
True Brit, I agree with you that many people both now and in the past have done and said things while claiming to be under the banner of Christ, as you say, that maybe aren't things Christ would have sanctioned. The sinners that Christ mixed with, though, he did say to them "now go and sin no more." I don't think he gave everyone a free pass to live in debauchery.

Aye but that is the point, the UNI already knew that his religion is directly opposed to LGBT or homosexuality, regardless of him stating that god would find an offense in this !
His religion has expressed that belief since day one , so why fire him now ?
He is being discriminated against for holding that belief
the Uni should have took a stand and said they support equality and diversity and respect this mans religious beliefs
and just said its his beliefs and are protected just like LGBT right to marry or protest or whatever , as distasteful as it is to him that LGBT can marry or have sex or whatever
just as holding that opinion or belief is distasteful to the LGBT crowd .
we have two minorities fighting over who is right and who is wrong .
