"Ties To Gay Choir Cost Music Director His Job"

Having a church music director who also led a gay men’s chorus did not sit well with some parishioners at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Roeland Park, Kansas.

So they asked the pastor to remove Joe Nadeau from his church post.

Nadeau’s last day leading the music for the church’s worship services was May 21.

He says he was asked to leave because he denied the pastor’s request to stop leading the Heartland Men’s Chorus, to say he would be celibate, and state that he agreed with church teaching that homosexuality is a disorder.

The pastor, Monsignor Gary Applegate, won’t discuss what happened.
