03.04.10 | Permalink | 4 CommentsAfter amassing 15,000 views, Rony Tan’s ex-gay testimony with Cheryl Bachelor which I put up on Vimeo has now been taken down. Apparently what Rony Tan said was too hateful for even Vimeo. Here’s the email I received from them:

The sin of Sodom wasn’t ’sodomy’
02.28.10 | Permalink | 27 CommentsWell I didn’t say so. The prophet Ezekiel did:
“Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.” [Ezekiel 16:49]

A Christian friend reacts to Rony’s response:

02.10.10 | Permalink | 118 CommentsUPDATE: Pastor Rony Tan: “I’ve said nothing wrong, you know.”
These three video clips have whipped up something of a firestorm in Singapore over the last few days.

My piece in China Daily’s 60th National Day supplement
