Son of a Preacher Man - Tom Goss

So many people are hurt in the name of love. Here's to another way.

Directed by Michael Serrato

Lyrics:
Billy Ray was a preacher's son and when his daddy would visit he'd come along.
And when they started talkin’, that's when Billy would take me walkin’.
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin’.
Then he'd look into my eyes, Lord knows it was my surprise.

The only one who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man. The only one who could ever teach me was the son of a preacher man. Yes he was, he was, yes he was.

Bein' good isn't always easy, no matter how hard I try. When he’d start sweet-talkin' to me, he'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right”. Kiss and tell me "Everything is all right”. Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me, was the son of a preacher man. The only boy who could ever teach me, was the son of a preacher man. Yes he was, he was, yes he was.

Ooh, how I remember that look in his eyes. Stealin' kisses from me on the sly. Takin' time to make time. Tellin' me he's all mine. Learnin' from each other's knowin’, look at us here how much we’re growing.

The only one who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man. The only one who could ever teach me was the son of a preacher man.

The only one who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man. The only one who could ever teach me was the son of a preacher man.
The only one...

As America’s Best Christian™, when I agreed to participate in this video, I was told it would be FOR the Bible's timeless moral values, like owning and beating slaves because they are your "property." Exodus 21:20-21

[ZackeryCochran]

*Kisses around the side of the church with the entire congregation literally just around the corner* "I'm sure no one will pop by. It's fine."

[jacksoninthebox]

Guys: *kiss*
Me: YESSSS
Priest: *FBI OPEN UP*
Me:

[peftasteriao]

My grandma is very very VERY religious, she runs a church and literally lives in it (there's a house beside it for her because she takes care of everything there), so I never knew how she would react to me coming out as bisexual. But then she comes out as a lesbian LMFAO

[thedespairpuppet]

Jesus: Love thy neighbors.
Homophobic Christans: Even the gays?!?!
Jesus: Did I sutter?

[autumngunn]

“Gay people aren’t going to hell for being gay because straight people aren’t going to heaven for being straight”

[melindajennings]

them: holds hands and walks away


me: stands up on chair and claps

[toastlotl]

When they hugged at the end the entire church was SHOOK

[smolsmile]

"you can not be a Christian and a homosexual" Well I thought I was gay but it turns out I'm trans so my mother did get a straight child but just with a few extra steps

[nic]

SERIOUSLY??








When you sneak out you turn off the light!!!

[alexhoover]

The girls that unhooked arms at the beginning actually made my heart break

[laurenhisey]

That moment when my last pastor and current pastor are both gay men... current is openly out to the church and his husband attends every service. Love them both.

[cartercurry]

Who else finds this freaking adorable?

[cryptid]

I don't know why Christians say that God loves everyone then turn around and hate on the LGBTQ+ community. I myself am a Christian and I LOVE the LGBTQ+ community. I just don't know why people are such hypocrites.

[wyrmur]

Something I've noticed every time when I've watched this is the way the one mom, the wife of the preacher, sees the father go to smack their son and flinches in the background, how when they're eating she is sadly looking at the chair her son used to sit at for meals. When the boys see each other in church the preacher's wife even looks like she gives her son a small nod. And then the other mother, who was angry with her son and everything (smashes the plate in anger), still physically places herself between her husband and the son, pushing the father away from him. It just strikes me that these women still love their sons even when religion and the men in their lives (who are clearly shown to abuse their sons for being gay) say that's wrong.

[Peneya]

“You CANNOT be a Christian and be okay with homosexuals”
Me coming out to my Catholic Church/being loved and accepted: 🤭

[greggregory]

Families that deny their children because their sexual orientation disgusts me

[ollieoxn]

Jesus had two dad's and he turned out alright

[vxpsilver]

The mom stood up like "OH MY GOD A GAY" and I'm dying XD

[chloesingleton]

"With God, all things are possible..." Yes, including being a homosexual christian... XD
