In a passionate video message – viewable on Reverend White’s website and youtube – White tells his story. How he lost his congregation, church, and home in support of equal marriage. He then explains the aims of his cause and asks for the global community to support him in his plans for a new program aimed to support LGBT communities.

Starting locally, his church aims to help youth in relation to employment, poverty, seniors and the LGBT community through Churches for Safe Spaces, a network of churches and LGBT organisations working towards inclusion of the LGBT community within the church.

Reverend White says: “Love each other. That’s the only way this world can truly be free. That we love each other as we love ourselves. That means we love gays. We love lesbians. We love blacks. We love whites. We love old. We love young. And that’s an ongoing message.”

So far, Reverend White has raised over 20,000 dollars with a target of 120,000.
