Michigan Pastor Facing Death Threats for Offering Workshops to Teens Struggling with Homosexuality

Pastor Jeremy Schossau of Metro City Church in Riverview, MI., is facing explosive backlash after offering classes to teens struggling with same-sex attraction.

In a now deleted Facebook post, the church offered a workshop called, “Unashamed Identity” for girls 12-16 who are struggling with thoughts of being trans, bi, gay or other.

The post received outrage from many on social media, driven mainly by the LGBTQ community.  It claims the program is conversion therapy, a discredited practice used to change an individual’s sexual orientation.

Seth Tooley, who is gay, once attended Metro City Church.
