A pastor in Indiana was relieve of his duties following him dressing in drag for a segment on HBO series 'We're Here.'

He said that he received a"negative, bullying, attacking email from a church person" on Nov. 14 that"flipped the tide" for him.

"It just got to the point where the conflict, the anger grew too much, and so for my mental health, too, I started to back away, and I told my district superintendent that the conflict was so much, it was at such a level from some, that I was unable to be an effective leader," he told Religion News Service.

Duke said he participated in the show to show support for his daughter, who identifies as pansexual, and said it"it was an incredibly wonderful, refreshing, deepening,"I was surrounded and immersed in a culture that I’ve never been immersed in, and one of the things in ministry, if you want to involve people different than yourself in your ministry, you have to go to where people different than you are," he said."The invitation to be part of the show allowed me that.
