Frisbee functioned as an evangelical preacher while also privately socializing as a gay man, before and during his evangelism career. This is in conflict with the fact that he stated in interviews that he never believed homosexuality was anything other than a sin in the eyes of God and both denominations prohibited homosexual behavior. Both churches later excommunicated him because of his active sexual life, first removing him from leadership positions, then ultimately, firing him. He was shunned and "written out of the official histories." As part of his ostracism from his former churches, his work was diminished, ignored and maligned.
