A pastor who opposed the implementation of a gay pride flag on Facebook has received horrific threats, and has even been sent human excrement in the mail.

Pastor Rich Penkoski was seeking to ban people from his ‘Warriors For Christ’ Facebook page if they posted the flag emoticon. “The thing about the rainbow flag is nobody asked why we didn’t want it on our page.

The issue was that the rainbow emoji is a pride symbol for homosexuality and we are a Christian ministry,” Penkoski said. “We don’t celebrate sin and we are not going to embrace it now. We know, as Christians, that sin leads to death.”

But his sentiment did not go down well with some LGBT supporters. “We got hammered. It must have been overnight. We banned over 900,000 people,” Penkoski added. “We received messages of ‘You should die,’ ‘Go kill yourself,'” he recalls, according to Christian Today.

Penkoski said he had to change his home address because of the horrific threats he was getting. “Before we could change [the address], they sent fecal matter to our house, gay porn to our house. Last night, for instance, someone threatened [in a Facebook message] to rape me. They said if I disrespect their pride flag they would come pound my [behind],” he explained. “These people are absolutely horrid. … These are the types of things a decent human being wouldn’t do, regardless of whether they are Christian or not. It was all meant to bully us and try to silence us.

“We had to go arm ourselves because people would send me personal emails through our website’s contact form, saying they know where I live,” he continued.

“We didn’t realize the address was on there until this started happening and we started getting mail,” he said. “The police said that this is completely unacceptable and this is actually a hate crime.”
