On November 8, 2014 at the Annual Holy Convocation of the Church of God In Christ, Elder Earl Carter spoke against the practice of homosexuality. With that, we have no problem. However, in that message, Elder Carter made a statement which was inappropriate and beneath the dignity of our church and our divine calling. Specifically addressing male homosexuals, he indicated his “wish” that they would experience monthly anal bleeding “like a girl.” His words were crude, offensive and base. It is with that specific statement alone that we take exception. Sadly this statement has been heard by millions of people around the world.
