Any prisoner attending a Christian Church Service would understand that these are quotes from the bible and not an individual's views. Same old story when people play the political correctness card.

They are sex offenders and he qoutes homosexuality in his sermon?
Im not though but its not a great place to sermon things about homosexuality.
the sermon was about sexual misconduct in general, it wasnt particularly focused on faggotry, he dealt with all kinds of lust in the sermon including adultery and rape Im not though but its not a great place to sermon things about homosexuality.

A Christian minister has been disciplined by prison authorities for quoting verses from the Bible that were deemed to be homophobic.
Rev Barry Trayhorn was acting as a volunteer chaplain at an institution for sex offenders when he recited the passage from the New Testament during a service.
The verses from Corinthians include homosexuality in a long list of sins, along with adultery, theft and drunkeness.
Mr Trayhorn said he wanted to explain to the congregation of inmates - many of whom have committed horrific sex abuse crimes - the Christian message that God will forgive those who repent.

Seems to me that this might be the best place.
If they were required to attend the worship service, then maybe not.
If they attended the worship service because they were looking for what God commands, then it was a good move by the chaplain.

"Disciplined" was the wrong word. As usual when talking about religion this way, it is "persecuted."

If they don't want to hear homophobia then they should just ban the bible

The prison does not need volunteer chaplains if they won't allow them to read the bible IMHO.
