MEDIA RELEASE
Do Not Bring The Name Of Jesus Christ Into Disrepute
Thursday, 1st March 2007
The Rev Hon Fred Nile MLC, Leader of the Christian Democratic Party, has been shocked by the announcement of the participation in the Homosexual and Lesbian Mardi Gras through Sydney streets, on 3rd March, 2007, of a person claiming to be a Pentecostal Christian.
Media reports claim that a Pentecostal Minister, Pastor Anthony Venn-Brown, will lead the openly homosexual Pentecostal marchers.
Rev Fred Nile said “I call upon Anthony Venn-Brown and these marchers to withdraw from this blasphemous, obscene parade and not bring the Name of Jesus Christ into disrepute [2 Peter 2:1-2].
“They should also repent of their homosexual sin, as have many homosexuals,” said Rev Fred Nile MLC.

People like Fred Nile need educating about LGBTQ+. They speak out loudly, in their ignorance, and only draw attention to their lack of understanding. I wonder if Fred remembers to thank God every day that he wasn’t born gay. I guess not. He seems to believe sexual orientation involves choice. It’s never seemed to be a choice for me. I’m hetero. There never was a time when I faced a choice about it. I just was!
Yes David. It doesn’t seem that wisdom does come with age automatically
Oh, dear Anthony! Again! And Again! Keep up the sacred work of slaying the sanctimonious—
It’s okay darling. I’m doing some historical archiving. This was 2005
You’ve had your battles again and again too
