Reggie White

On 30 December, Chuck Baldwin posted a column entitled "America Has Lost a Real Hero".
Included were the following paragraphs:
  • Back in 1999, Reggie made the following statement, "I understand one thing: God brought me out of sin. And because He brought me out of sin, I am going to do everything that I can to allow Him to use me to help my brothers to come out of sin."
  • Reggie White was fiercely criticized by the media for publicly denouncing homosexuality. Many commercial sponsors discontinued their support of Reggie for his statements. Yet, Reggie remained resolute.
  • Reggie White continued by saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, about three weeks ago, there was a man who came up to me after I preached. He said to me, 'God has brought me out of [the homosexual] lifestyle. Thank you for what you had the courage to say, because I'm saved now.'"
  • Reggie White then said, "I want to say this to our media: Why don't you report more on the people who came out of it (the homosexual lifestyle)? Why don't you give them any credit because they've changed? I have no problem with anyone living the way they want to, but when you bring it out and try to push it, not only on myself, but on my children, I cannot stand back and be quiet."
