Church Sign About Gender Identity Sparks Protests In Medford
MEDFORD (CBS) – A controversial sign in Medford sparked dueling protests along Salem Street Friday.
“This is a message of God’s truth and us trying to reveal it to our community,” said Pastor Joseph Hawkins of New England Baptist Church.
Pastor Hawkins’ sign about gender identity read:
“MALE AND FEMALE
CREATED HE THEM.
GEN 5:2
GENDER IDENTITY SOLVED.”
That message isn’t sitting well with the non-binary community who don’t identify as male or female. They showed up by the dozens in protest coming face-to-face with churchgoers.
