Not just the homophobia of the FBC Dallas. They were bigoted against blacks/Hispanics as well. My great grandmother was a life long member of the FBC Dallas and when she was 91 and close to the end she never even got a kiss my ass from the ministry....because she was not rich enough to get their attention. Gotta say one of the best episodes though was when M. M. O'Hare debated him and cleaned that old bigots clock. She made him look like the blow hard fool he was.

The writeup on Criswell has documentation going back to his used of the term "Cheegroes" in his defense of segregation. However, to keep the letter short I made reference to his homophobia. I figure your status with them is related to your ability to donate.
