Charity Is Buying Bankrupt Homophobic Pastor’s Church, Converting It To LGBT Youth Haven

In a complete 180 degree turn, a church that was the site of numerous mind boggling anti-gay rants will now be home to a shelter designed specifically to help at-risk LGBT youth. How’s that for karma?
Reverend James David Manning has become notorious for the awful sermons he delivers from his Harlem-based Atlah Worldwide Church. Outside, he frequently puts up massive signs denouncing homosexuality and anyone who supports gay rights. One sign claimed supporting same-sex marriage would give a person cancer or syphilis. Another declared Obama had released “homo demons” to attack black men.
Thankfully, Manning’s time being able to spew insane garbage from the pulpit appears to be over. Manning, busy as he was spreading hate, seems to have massively mismanaged his finances. His church is reportedly over $1 million in debt and the property it sits on will now be auctioned off.
Enter the Ali Forney Center, an organization dedicated to providing help to homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth. Since hearing about the recent vacancy they have been fundraising to buy Manning’s old church. In just 12 days they raised over $200,000. It’s likely they will soon be able to acquire it.
short and real sweet, this my friends is what you call "POETIC JUSTICE" yes the Lord does move in mysterious ways, hate to tolerant compassion that is who we are.  God Bless their endeavor.
