(HARBINGERS DAILY) – Matt Moore, a Minnesota real estate agent and theology student at Bethlehem College and Seminary, announced on social media that he is allowing his real estate license to expire in response to pressure from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) to affirm same-sex marriage and the LGBTQ community.
“Would you pray for my wife and me as we seek God’s will for what’s next?” he posted to Twitter. “This week my broker informed me that I cannot continue to talk publicly about Christian views re: LGBTQ+ issues if I want to remain with this brokerage. … As of July 1st, I will no longer be a realtor.”
In December, Moore – a former member of the LGBTQ community – wrote an open letter to the NAR in which he expressed concern that the organization’s recently updated Code of Ethics could foster “discrimination against Christian realtors.”
