A massacre in the LGBT community wouldn't be complete without praise from hateful fundie pastors...

ACHTUNG: It's Steven Anderson in this one, and his latest tirade is NSFW and NSFL - he's a real hateful piece of shit. You've been warned.

Anyways...

Christian Pastor Celebrates Nightclub Massacre: “There’s 50 Less Pedophiles in This World”

June 12, 2016 by Hemant Mehta 452 Comments

Pastor Steven Anderson, whose hate knows no bounds, celebrated the deaths of 50 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando in a 4-minute mini-sermon that cited the Bible as justification for why they needed to die. (And if it didn’t happen via a shooter, it should have happened by way of government execution.)

It’s the most disturbing, hateful response to a mass shooting you’ll ever hear, and it was provoked by Anderson’s complete hatred of LGBT people.



The good news is that there’s 50 less pedophiles in this world, because, you know, these homosexuals are a bunch of disgusting perverts and pedophiles. That’s who was a victim here, are a bunch of, just, disgusting homosexuals at a gay bar, okay?

But the bad news is that this is now gonna be used, I’m sure, to push for gun control, where, you know, law-abiding normal Americans are not gonna be allowed to have guns for self-defense. And then I’m sure it’s also gonna be used to push an agenda against so-called “hate speech.” So Bible-believing Christian preachers who preach what the Bible actually says about homosexuality — that it’s vile, that it’s disgusting, that they’re reprobates — you know, we’re gonna be blamed. Like, “It’s all extremism! It’s not just the Muslims, it’s the Christians!” I’m sure that that’s coming. I’m sure that people are gonna start attacking, you know, Bible-believing Christians now, because of what this guy did.


Every time I see this specific asshole, I watch the following video of him, in this case playing "Sovereign Citizen" with the Border Patrol, starting about 1:00 in. It always puts a smile on my face!

I am curious if they found anything in the car or if is being a dick incited them to do what they did.

Here you go contributing something to a thread when people are upset.

Can I get you a bigger stick to stir the hornet's nest with, or is the one you are using ugly enough?

LGBT history to praise the right wing that hates us while erasing our own activism and community. Such rhetoric leaves us at the mercy of these vile people.
