(LifeSiteNews.com) - The UK’s online Herald newspaper ran a headline referring to Pastor Green as ‘gay-hating this morning, in coverage of the Pentecostal leader’s lecture tour through Scotland to discuss Christian sexual ethics.

Pastor Green has been vilified by the mainstream media since he was prosecuted by the Swedish government for preaching against homosexuality to his congregation in 2003. Accused of “inciting hatred,” Green was sentenced to one month suspended sentence, a conviction that was overruled after lawyers argued for his freedom of speech rights under the European Convention on Human Rights.

Pastor Green denies all accusations of hate-mongering. Speaking to a congregation last night in Scotland, he emphasized that he was there to hold a “reasoned Christian debate,” not to promote hatred, the Herald reported.

“I’m here to talk about sexual ethics from a Christian point of view,” he said. “I believe homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle, as stated in the Bible.” the rest
