Happy family: Ou Yang posing with Phineas and his daughter Zaya

The self-confessed Malaysian gay pastor and his African-American partner are planning to tie the knot at the end of the month in New York.Rev Ou Yang Wen Feng, 41, and his partner Phineas Newborn III, 47, a Broadway musical producer, also planned to have a Chinese wedding banquet and traditional tea ceremony in Kuala Lumpur eventually."We are still in the planning stage but we will register as spouses first in New York. We plan to tie the knot on Aug 31 as it is Malaysia's National Day. It means a lot to me," he said in an e-mail interview recently.Ou Yang had told AFP in an interview that Phineas popped the question on June 26, two days after New York City legalised same-sex marriages.Ou Yang, who now serves at the Metropolitan Community Church in New York, said his family members met Phineas last year and they liked him very much."To find a partner to spend your life with is not easy," he said, adding that he planned to come back to Malaysia for holidays next year."Phineas is an intelligent person and I feel that I can learn a lot from him and engage in stimulating conversation. He is very focused and determined to achieve success in whatever he pursues and has a very strong will to overcome life's challenges."He is connected to his own spirituality and supports my church work. We learn a lot from each other," he said, adding that Phineas has a 14-year-old daughter Zaya who lives in the same neighbourhood."So we see her all the time," he said, adding that Phineas was just like him - a closet heterosexual who finally came out to be who he is.Ou Yang said "coming out" took place in 2006 after nine years of childless union with his now ex-wife, whom he described as an "angel". Ou Yang grew up in a conservative Christian family.Ou Yang, a former columnist with Sin Chew Daily, is currently in Hong Kong promoting his book on homosexuality and Christianity."I was also invited to speak in some churches in Hong Kong. I also spent some time in China. I was invited to talk in Chengdu and Guangzhou," he said. [refer...]

Peringatan buat saudaraku Muslimin dan Muslimat semua:

Surah Asy-Syu'araa'(ayat 160-175)

(Demikian juga) kaum Nabi Lut telah mendustakan Rasul-rasul (yang diutus kepada mereka). (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:160)


Ketika saudara mereka - Nabi Lut, berkata kepada mereka: "Hendaknya kamu mematuhi perintah Allah dan menjauhi laranganNya. (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:161)

"Sesungguhnya aku ini Rasul yang amanah, (yang diutus oleh Allah) kepada kamu. (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:162) |


"Oleh itu, takutilah kamu akan (kemurkaan) Allah, dan taatlah kepadaku. (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:163) |


"Dan aku tidak meminta kepada kamu sebarang upah mengenai apa yang aku sampaikan (dari Tuhanku); balasanku hanyalah terserah kepada Allah Tuhan sekalian alam. (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:164) |

"Patutkah kamu melakukan hubungan jenis dengan lelaki dari kalangan manusia, (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:165) |

"Dan kamu tinggalkan apa yang diciptakan oleh Tuhan kamu untuk kamu (melakukan hubungan yang halal) dari badan isteri-isteri kamu? (Kamu orang-orang yang bersalah) bahkan kamu adalah kaum yang melampaui batas (keinginan kebanyaKan haiwan)!" (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:166) |


Mereka menjawab: "Sesungguhnya jika engkau tidak berhenti wahai Lut (daripada mencaci dan menyalahkan kami), nescaya engkau akan diusir keluar!" (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:167)


Nabi Lut berkata: "Sesungguhnya aku dari orang-orang yang bencikan perbuatan kamu yang keji itu". (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:168)


(Nabi Lut berdoa): "Wahai Tuhanku, selamatkanlah daku dan keluarga serta pengikut-pengikutku dari apa yang dilakukan oleh golongan (yang jahat) itu." (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:169)


Maka Kami selamatkan dia dan keluarganya serta pengikut-pengikutnya - semuanya (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:170) |


Kecuali seorang perempuan tua tertinggal dalam golongan yang kena azab itu. (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:171) |

Kemudian Kami hancurkan yang lain (yang menentang Nabi Lut). (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:172) |


Dan Kami hujani mereka dengan hujan (azab yang membinasakan); maka amatlah buruknya hujan azab yang menimpa kaum yang telah diberi amaran. (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:173)


Sesungguhnya peristiwa yang demikian, mengandungi satu tanda (yang membuktikan kekuasaan Allah); dan dalam pada itu, kebanyakan mereka tidak juga mahu beriman. (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:174)

Dan sesungguhnya Tuhanmu (wahai Muhammad), Dia lah sahaja yang Maha Kuasa, lagi Maha Mengasihani. (Asy-Syu'araa' 26:175)
