A pastor who has expressed views against LGBT communities has resigned from his post, after he was found to be using a gay dating app.

Reverend Matthew Makela has stepped down from St John's Lutheran church in Midland, Michigan, after he sent sexual messages to a man on Grindr.

He wrote in one message: "I love to make out naked. Oral and massage. And I top" and "I would love to mess around with a bicurious guy", news website Queerty reported.

His contact on the app comes after he expressed anti-gay views under an article which argued that sexual attraction must be resisted like the temptation to steal or lie.
