Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kei te aro atu tētahi hahi o Tennessee ki ngā whakahē i muri i te whakaputanga o tētahi karere i runga i tōna paepae e āhua nei e hono ana i a Hatana me te whai a te hapori LGBT ki te whakarite i ngā tika ōrite. I whakairihia e te Knoxville Baptist Tabernacle te karere tautohetohe, engari i tangohia i muri i te wheako i etahi urupare kino. I mua i te nekehanga atu, ka pānuihia i runga i te marquee: 'Kia mahara ko Hatana te tuatahi ki te tono i ngā tika ōrite.' Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I whakairihia e te Knoxville Baptist Tabernacle te karere tautohetohe (i whakaahuatia), engari i tangohia i muri mai. He maha nga tangata i whakaaro ko te tohu i whakawhiwhia ki te hunga e tohu ana he tangata takakau, he wahine takakau, he taangata takirua, he taangata takirua ranei. I kii a Pastor Tony Greene ko te korero i runga i te marquee 'kaore he korero ki tetahi roopu motuhake' I muri i te tuku i te korero, ka tiimata te tohatoha i runga i nga whaarangi Facebook me Twitter o WATE. He tokomaha nga tangata i whakaaro ko te tohu he mea hei whakahawea ki nga tangata e tohu ana he tangata takakau, he wahine takakau, he wahine takirua, he tangata takirua ranei, engari ko te tohunga o te Tapenakara i kii ehara i te mea. Ka mea a Pastor Tony Greene: 'Ko ta maatau tohu e pa ana ki a Hatana e kii ana i ona mana taurite ki te piki ki te rangi ka waiho hei Atua, he mea noa mo taua tangata. 'Kāore i te kīanga ki tētahi rōpū motuhake, e mōhio ana koe ki ngā tika o ngā pēpi kāore anō kia whānau mai, ki ngā tika o ngā tamariki, ki ngā tika o te katoa?' Kāore ētahi i whakapono ki te whakamārama a Greene. I kii a Andy Henry ki a WBIR: 'He tohu tenei i hangaia hei whakahawea ki tetahi hapori motuhake - te hapori LGBT. 'Na te korenga o te whakaaro o (te hahi), ka mutu i a rātau te whakahawea ki te hunga katoa i whawhai mo te taurite, mo nga tika tangata rānei.' I whakarerekētia te tohu kia pānui: 'He pai ki a koe te pānui, kāore i te whakaaro kia kino, e hiahiatia ana e tātou katoa a te Karaiti.' Ka mea a Greene: 'He whakaminenga rerekē mātou. 'Kua tae atu mātou ki ngā tāngata e mōhio ana ki a mātou, e mōhio ana ki tō mātou tū i roto i tēnei hapori, e mōhio ana ki tā mātou mahi. 'Kei te whati toku ngakau i te wehenga o to tatou whenua.' Kāore te Hāhi i te tautoko anake i te whiwhi wairua i te kāinga, engari e tautoko ana hoki i te rongopai me te whakatū whare karakia i Amerika me te...
He karere i whakairihia ki te tūru i waho o te whare karakia o Knoxville Baptist Tabernacle. I puta te tohu i muri i tana tohatoha i runga i nga whaarangi Facebook me Twitter. I kii te tohunga o te Tapene, ehara te karere i te mea he whakahe ki tetahi roopu motuhake. I hurihia te tohu ki te pānui: 'Kāore i te whakaaro kia kino, e hiahia ana tātou katoa ki a te Karaiti'
