The announcement was met with opposition when a sermon Giglio delivered in the mid-1990s was publicized by ThinkProgress.〔 In the sermon, Giglio called homosexuality a sin, declared that legalizing gay marriage would risk "absolutely undermining the whole order of our society", and asked his listeners to "lovingly but firmly respond to the aggressive agenda" of gay activists. On January 10, Giglio withdrew from participation in the inaugural, stating, "it is likely that my participation and the prayer I would offer will be dwarfed by those seeking to make their agenda the focal point of the inauguration."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louie Giglio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
