A sign in front of a Mandarin church is getting a lot of attention. People stopping by are snapping pictures of it. Others are saying they're not surprised by the message because of the person who put it up.
It's on the marquee of First Conservative Baptist Church off Old St. Augustine Road. The pastor, Gene Youngblood, said he's just exercising his right to free speech.
The sign reads, "Homosexuals must repent or go to hell."
Some are appalled. Others say they are so used to seeing controversial messages up on the marquee that they have given up responding because they don't want to give the pastor the satisfaction.
Either way, the pastor said he has the right to say what's on this sign and hopes he can make a difference sharing what he says is the word of God.

"It is my sincere prayer that perhaps 'ONE' practicing homosexual will have read our sign and will REPENT before it is too late and they are cast into HELL. HELL is a real place and anyone not believing in the reality of HELL will not change the temperature of the FLAMES a single degree," it reads.
