Florida college cancels singing group's concert due to 'lifestyle that contradicts scripture'

Debates are churning after a Florida college abruptly canceled an appearance by a prominent singing group due to at least one member's sexuality.

The King's Singers are a highly regarded British a cappella ensemble with more than 50 years of history. The all-male group performs a range of songs, including pop music, classical arrangements and sacred music.

The group says a February 11 concert at Pensacola Christian College was canceled with "two hours' notice" because of "'concerns' about the 'lifestyle' of members of our group."

"It has become clear to us, from a flood of correspondence from students and members of the public, that these concerns related to the sexuality of members of our group," a statement from the group, shared on social media, reads.

Pensacola Christian College, a private independent Baptist institution, released a statement with their reasoning.

"PCC canceled a concert with The King's Singers upon learning that one of the artists openly maintained a lifestyle that contradicts Scripture," the statement reads.

Thus proving the school is both hypocritical and stupid. Sad.

Their right to do so, of course, but two hours??? If I had planned to attend the concert, I’d be pissed.

“ Fans and supporters of the group questioned PCC's reasoning, mentioning the college's performances in recent years of works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Francis Poulenc, two classical music titans widely known to have had male romantic interests.”

I'd say this is unreal...but it is Florida. And right now there is not a more fucked up place than Florida.

The governor of Florida may be the Republican candidate for president in 2024. Anyone voting for him is just barely short of being a traitor to our nation.

Adultery is one of the greatest moral sins in the bible, but the board of regents of this little Christian college would undoubtedly be doing cartwheels if they landed serial adulterer Donald Trumpf as a guest speaker

Like the fucking Liberty University hypocrites?

show me on this doll where this college's actions have abused you.....

I'd say this isn't even really about religion.

It's about Southern homophobes who are using the bible as fig leaf as cover for their innate bigotry.

As a sin, being gay doesn't even rank that high in the bible in the pantheon of sins. Adultry and lusting for women who aren't your wife are infamously near the top of the heap of worst possible sins, they are called out in ten commandments

And I guarantee you the sins of adultery and covetous lust are happening with some frequency among the board of regents, the faculty, the staff, and the alumni of this college.

I suppose you think a REAL governor would have shut down this college and the churches that support it.....because that's what government is for, right.......shutting down religions you don't like?......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I'd say this isn't even really about religion.
.

of course it isn't.......its about another chance to group Christians and of course, Trump, into one convenient bulls eye on a target......(simple logic......if you have trouble scoring, make the target bigger)......

If they get any tax dollars or tax breaks it should be revoked.

Despite what the idiot Trumpers believe, private colleges have the right to control their curriculum and control who speaks on their campus. If this college wants to be a narrow minded bigoted institution, they are free to do so. I suspect it reflects the narrow mindedness and bigotry of the student body.

Well, it's their right. OTOH I hope that the group had a contract and were paid for their time and travel expenses.

So much for that Jesus thing about inclusion and love. The group's post on their website sounds far more in line with what their Lord taught:

Just for the hell of it, I looked at their website to see what degrees they offer. Biology is one of them. Do you suppose they teach actual biology, including evolution, or is that not allowed because it contradicts the Bible? Ditto for chemistry, which is also offered?

And rightfully so.

How many of them have been divorced and worse, remarried?

They didn't break any laws.

Nor is it illegal to shine a spotlight on this and ridicule conservative bigotry and hypocrisy

Good question. How many of the faculty and staff of this college are watching porn, coveting their neighbors wives, cheating on their spouses.

Why are you ok with some groups canceling things but not other groups?
