Florida pastor stands firm on denying gay man's funeral

Florida pastor T.W. Jenkins feels "fine" about his decision to cancel gay man's funeral

Reverend T.W. Jenkins, pastor of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Tampa, is standing firm on his decision to cancel the funeral services of Julion Evans once he found out the man was gay.

Rev. Jenkins, in the midst of the media firestorm, wanted to let his congregation know "My family is doing fine," he said to claps from the audience. "Church family please remain focused and prayerful ... and we will continue to stand on the word of God."

Good to know the Rev. Jenkins is "doing fine."

The family of Julion Evans eventually used the funeral home that handled Evans' wake for the funeral.
