Gay Christian Rock Star Schools Homophobic Pastor On Live TV

Christian rock star Vicky Beeching (pictured at lower right in photo) made headlines this week when she announced publicly that she identifies as lesbian in a profile by The Independent ...

Beeching, who is pursuing a PhD in theology, did not tolerate Lively's Biblical interpretations. (Scott Lively, [pictured on the big screen] the homophobic Massachusetts evangelist who has advocated for the anti-homosexuality policies that have been advancing in countries like Uganda and Russia.) When he asserted that "there's no such thing as a gay person; it's an identity you adopt," she countered that not only is her sexual orientation part of her "God-wired identity," but she called out that such teaching as been "so damaging" and can "psychologically scar people."

When Lively then offered that she should prioritize spirituality over psychology, asking, "Don't you care what God thinks, Becky?", Beeching snapped back, "I do, and that's actually why I'm taking this step today — so that young people don't have to listen to the kind of teaching you peddle, because it damages."
