Rev. Louie Giglio will no longer give the benediction at President Obama’s second inauguration, having backed out of the ceremony due to outrage over anti-gay comments, ABC News reports.
Giglio, who is now Pastor at Passion City Church in Georgia and his role at Obama’s second inauguration was first announced Tuesday. But the liberal website Thinkprogress reported Wednesday on audio of Giglioi delivering a sermon in the mid-1990s in which he said homosexuality is a sin and advocated gay “recovery.”
