A Tampa church canceled the funeral of a man the night before the ceremony was set to go ahead after finding out he was gay. Julion Evans had died from Amyloidosis, a disease which attacked the body's organs,according to new york daily news. His husband Kendall Capers and family had planned to bury the 42-year-old at the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church.But just hours before the solemn ceremony, church members read Evans' obituary and saw Capers described as the "surviving husband."They phoned the family to say the funeral could not continue, telling Evans mother, Julie Atwood it would be "blasphemous" for her son's funeral to be held at the church.
