I Was A Married Pastor - Until I Fell In Love With A Man | LOVE DON’T JUDGE

Aug 27 2020

A CHRISTIAN dad-of-four lost his pastor job after falling in love with a younger man in the deep south of America. Eric, 48, began his relationship with Matt, 27, after employing him at his demolition business. But neither man had come out as gay yet and faced judgment from their Bible Belt community. Eric told Truly: “It's not acceptable in [the community], it was difficult.” The couple are now married but when they first met Eric was a pastor with four children. He explained how their local community reacted to the news, “our hometown is mostly conservative, I was immediately dismissed from my post.” The age gap also added to the public backlash, “they think we're just dad and son”, Matt explained. He even had a family member who said, “somebody will kill you.”
