Michael Porter Jr. calls out Christians who say gay people are going to hell: "They're not acknowledging anything else that the Bible says"

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. used a recent episode of his “Curious Mike” podcast to criticize some Christians who say gay people are going to hell. The 28-year-old, who attended Father Tolton Regional Catholic High School in Columbia, Missouri, argued that singling out homosexuality ignores other prohibitions discussed in the Bible. Porter said he’s upset by what he described as a double standard, pointing to the idea that the Bible’s teaching on sin applies broadly rather than targeting one group. He also referenced Christian belief that Jesus “came, died on the cross for all of our sins,” and noted that Christians themselves are not free of sin, citing behaviors such as lying and gluttony. The article frames his comments as statements he made.
