NC Pastor tells graduating seniors they'll be going to hell if they're gay

North Carolina Pastor Scott Carpenter says he just couldn't pass up the opportunity to spread the good word and alert graduating seniors from Kings Mountain High School, a public school, that they'd surely be headed to hell if they are gay:

“Nobody got bashed or anything. All I did was simply speak biblical truth... The number one audience that I have to please is God,” Carpenter said.


The pastor's comments came at a baccalaureate service on campus, which precedes their graduation ceremony.

The service was held on campus and Cleveland County Schools tells WBTV that was their only involvement in it. They say they had no part in the selection of speakers, which was left up to religious leaders in the community.

The service was optional for students but Wilson says that doesn't matter.
