Pastor Robert Morris’ lawyer blamed a 12-year-old girl for initiating sexual contact (www.nbcnews.com)

Cindy Clemishire was a 12-year-old girl who dressed in flowery pink pajamas and still liked to play with Barbie dolls.

On Christmas that year, Morris — who would go on to found Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, and become a leading figure in the American evangelical movement — began what he would later describe as “inappropriate sexual behavior” with Clemishire while he was staying at her parents’ home in Oklahoma. Clemishire said Morris told her to come see him in his room before bed, and she was the type of girl who listened to instructions from trusted adults.

You know, I think unsettled here.

Drag queens are usually pretty great role models for kids. Better than most pastors.

Also, they happen to usually be sexy.

So when they say shit like “grooming”, really what they’re saying is “you’re teaching kids they can be who they are and be wonderful people at the same time… and I can’t help myself. I can’t keep it in my pants. And I’ll force myself on anything I can, so long as it has a pulse and I get to ruin their lives, because i can’t stand people being themselves.”

Naw. Who am i kidding that level of introspection would probably cause an aneurism inducing migraine.
