Due to the content of the post, quoting scripture made sense. If the point is love, acceptance and tolerance, then does the origin of the verse really matter? Had this video been about a brilliant and lonely alcoholic, I may have chosen to cite Fitzgerald, Hemingway or my Uncle Paul. But it wasn't. It was about a man who's profession should be to lead people with love and grace, who is in fact doing the opposite. That made me sad and then it made me think of scripture. Cherry picking? Perhaps. Relevant? I think so.

Christian: adjective
1.of, pertaining to, or derived from Jesus Christ or His teachings: a follower of Christ.

Jesus said "If you love me, feed my sheep." John 21:17
Jesus was instructing His disciples and future followers to take care of the small, the over-looked, the ones that may not be able to speak up for themselves. Now, maybe I have been reading from a different translation than "Pastor" Worley, but as far as I can see, there is no clause, no catch, no loop hole. There are no asterisks stating "Feed my *sheep."
*so long as those sheep are not gay, lesbian, bi-sexual or transgendered

" Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit **orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."James 1:27
**However, if you discover that those orphans and widows are gay, stop caring for them

The God I've known is not a God of asterisks, but a God of grace, forgiveness and second chances. I believe that the definition of God should be interchangable with the definition of Love. Unfortunately, that's not always the God that is portrayed by His followers. If a follower of Christ does a Christian make, then this man is by definition, not a Christian. However, if the world still associates "Pastor" Worley with Christianity, then maybe it's time for me to find a new religion.
