USA: from gay rights supporter to pastor

Caleb Kaltenbach

A pastor in October shared how he went from marching in gay pride parades and being hostile toward Christians to becoming a follower of Christ and leading a church.

Caleb Kaltenbach grew up with parents who both came out as gay and got a divorce when he was only two years old. They were very active in the gay community. ‘They took me to gay clubs, parties, and camp outs’, Kaltenbach remembers. ‘I marched in gay pride parades and went to political events. That was just my life.’

Hated Christians

Kaltenbach says he hated Christians because the ones he came into contact with were so hostile toward gay people. He recalls that he even saw a supposed Christian holding up a sign that said ‘God hates you’ during a gay protest parade.
