It was followed by a sermon by the church’s pastor, Roman Gutierrez, that likened homosexuality to addiction. However, church officials denied that the institution is anti-LGBTQ+"

An ultra-conservative anti-LGBTQ group would undoubtedly be offended by Lin-Manuel Miranda’s inclusive production of Hamilton, but yet they crave the popularity and “cool factor” of the production. What to do? Stay away from it? Heavens no! Obviously you put in a lot of time and effort to prepare an unlicensed production of it, adding your own touches to the script and violating all kinds of copyright laws in the process. What a fine example for the youth you are trying to reach.
