This uproar is about more than a rogue performance of 'Hamilton'

A conservative church is not where you might expect to see a showing of "Hamilton," the award-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda musical that tells the life story of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton through hip-hop, R&B and soul music. But this weekend, a church in McAllen, Texas, called The Door performed the show -- with some right-wing tinkering. The actors reportedly mentioned Jesus and Christianity throughout, and a video shows that the performance also featured a sermon comparing homosexuality to drug addiction and deeming it a sin.
