ANTI-GAY PASTOR TELLS FLOCK TO KILL ALL ‘F*GGOTS’ AND THE CHRISTIANS WHO SUPPORT THEM

ANTI-GAY PASTOR TELLS FLOCK TO KILL ALL ‘F*GGOTS’ AND THE CHRISTIANS WHO SUPPORT THEM

 
Posted by Stephen D. Foster Jr. on 28 Jun 2016

Pastor Steven Anderson is now calling for the mass extermination of gay people AND all the Christians who support the LGBT community.

In the wake of the Orlando mass shooting, Anderson openly praised the killing of 49 peopleand called for executing all gay people in America.
“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,” he said the day after the shooting. “But these people all should have been killed, anyway, but they should have been killed through the proper channels, as in they should have been executed by a righteous government that would have tried them, convicted them, and saw them executed.”
And now Anderson is not only doubling down on that call, he wants to heads of every Christian in America who supports the LGBT community to roll in a bloodbath of hate.
Anderson, who leads the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Arizona, literally called for a purge in America that would make Hitler proud after playing the persecution card. He even managed to throw in a couple Nazi salutes.
“During periods of great persecution is when great growth happens. Because we can purge out all the sissies and purge out all the fair weather Christians and purge out all the weaklings who don’t wanna take a stand. And you know what’s left? The creme de la creme.”
Anderson bragged that how popular and loving his church is and then he went on an absolute tirade.
“We have more love in our little finger than that f*ggoty church down the street has in their whole body,” Anderson continued. “Because they don’t even know what love means. They don’t even know what hate means.”
Apparently he, who has prayed for Obama to die (earning himself a visit from the Secret Service) and who has said that the cure for AIDS can be found if we would just kill all the filthy “f*ggots” in the world, has a lot to learn about the definitions of those words.
And then he proceeded to demonstrate exactly how hateful he and his church is as members of his congregation laughed in approval.
“To them it’s just a slogan. They say well ‘love your neighbor as yourself,’ which is Leviticus 19. But then Leviticus 20 says to kill the sodomites. Once they’re dead, then everybody’s your neighbor. My homosexual neighbor should be dead according to chapter 20 verse 13 and then I can love all my neighbors. I wouldn’t have to discriminate.”
Here’s the video via YouTube
This was Anderson’s Sunday sermon and it truly was deplorable. He literally called for the mass murder of gays and any Christian who supports the LGBT community. We’re talking about millions of people in this country. It makes one wonder how many conservatives will condemn this man and his message. Is this what they believe? Is that what they want? Is that why they are trying to control the government? So they can have the means of purging

Gay Men In Ivory Coast Attacked After Honoring Orlando Victims

“We are afraid now. There is no security.”

DAKAR (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Six gay men in Ivory Coast were abused and forced to flee their homes after they were pictured signing a condolence book for victims of the recent attack on a gay nightclub in Florida, a rights group said on Wednesday.

The U.S. embassy in the Ivorian capital of Abidjan hosted an event a fortnight ago to honor the Florida victims and published a photo of the six men on its website with the caption: ‘LGBTI community signing the condolence book’.

A gunman pledging allegiance to the Islamic State militant group killed 49 people at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub on June 12 in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Days after the tribute in Abidjan, Louna, one of the men in the photo, was walking in his neighborhood when a mob pushed him to the ground, stole his phone and wallet, and beat him.

“I don’t have a life anymore,” said the 36-year-old, who only gave his nickname for fear of further attacks.

Louna said he did not know the photo had been posted online until a friend called him and told him that he had seen it.

“I can’t go out. I don’t know who might recognize me,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone from Abidjan, adding that he fears he will never be able to return home.

Another man in the picture was also attacked after the photo was circulated on Facebook and other websites, said the head of an Abidjan-based gay rights group, who asked to remain anonymous.

The other four men in the photo were verbally abused, and all six fled their homes, he added.

While the director of the rights group gave the U.S. embassy permission to post the photo on their website, he said he would not have done so if he had known what the caption would say.

“We are afraid now. There is no security,” he said.

Ivory Coast is one of the few African countries where same-sex acts are legal and have never been criminalized.

While it is considered one of the most tolerant countries for sexual minorities in the region, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people face widespread abuse, stigma, and violence, rights groups say.

The photo remained on the U.S. embassy’s website as of Wednesday. Embassy officials were not immediately available to comment.

Pope Benedict Claims There Was Once A ‘Gay Lobby’ At The Vatican

In an upcoming memoir about his pontificate, Benedict revealed that he broke up a ‘gay lobby’ that had tried to wield power at the Vatican.

Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI is releasing a memoir about his pontificate.

Former Pope Benedict says in his memoirs that no-one pressured him to resign but alleges that a “gay lobby” in the Vatican had tried to influence decisions, a leading Italian newspaper reported on Friday.
The book, called “The Last Conversations,” is the first time in history that a former pope judges his own pontificate after it is over. It is due to be published on Sept. 9.
Citing health reasons, Benedict in 2013 became the first pope in six centuries to resign. He promised to remain “hidden to the world” and has been living in a former convent in the Vatican gardens.
Italy’s Corriere della Sera daily, which has acquired the Italian newspaper rights for excerpts and has access to the book, ran a long article on Friday summarizing its key points.
In the book, Benedict says that he came to know of the presence of a “gay lobby” made up of four or five people who were seeking to influence Vatican decisions. The article says Benedict says he managed to “break up this power group.”
Benedict resigned following a turbulent papacy that included the so-call “Vatileaks” case, in which his butler leaked some of his personal letters and other documents that alleged corruption and a power struggle in the Vatican.
Italian media at the time reported that a faction of prelates who wanted to discredit Benedict and pressure him to resign was behind the leaks.

Pope Benedict XVI waves from a balcony at St. Peter’s Basilica after being elected by the conclave of cardinals on April 19, 2005.

POPE’S DIARY
The Church has maintained its centuries-long opposition to homosexual acts.
But rights campaigners have long said many gay people work for the Vatican and Church sources have said they suspect that some have banded together to support each other’s careers and influence decisions in the bureaucracy.
Benedict, who now has the title “emeritus pope,” has always maintained that he made his choice to leave freely and Corriere says that in the book Benedict “again denies blackmail or pressure”.
He says he told only a few people close to him of his intention to resign, fearing it would be leaked before he made the surprise announcement on Feb. 11, 2013.
The former pope, in the book-long interview with German writer Peter Seewald, says he had to overcome his own doubts on the effect his choice could have on the future of the papacy.
He says that he was “incredulous” when cardinals meeting in a secret conclave chose him to succeed the late Pope John Paul II in 2005 and that he was “surprised” when the cardinals chose Francis as his successor in 2013.
Anger over the dysfunctional state of the Vatican bureaucracy in 2013 was one factor in the cardinal electors’ decision to choose a non-European pope for the first time in nearly 1,300 years.
Benedict “admits his lack of resoluteness in governing,” Corriere says.
In the book, whose lead publisher is Germany’s Droemer Knaur, Benedict says he kept a diary throughout his papacy but will destroy it, even though he realizes that for historians it would be a “golden opportunity.”

This New Cafe Will Offer Fellatio With Its Espresso

Bottoms up!

A new cafe opening soon in Switzerland will serve up more than just coffee.

Jonesing for some oral sex with your caffeine? Soon you’ll able to satisfy both cravings at the same time — at least if you’re a man living in Switzerland.
That’s right, a new cafe set to open by the end of the year in Geneva, where sex work is legal and regulated, will allow patrons to order a coffee drink and then use an iPad to choose a sex worker who will perform fellatio on him.
The beverage plus “five to 10 minutes“ of oral pleasure will cost 60 Swiss francs (or roughly $62 USD) but if you want a macchiato you’re going to have to fork over another five Swiss francs.
In this week’s episode of the HuffPost Love+Sex Podcast, I chat with my co-host, Carina Kolodny, about this new cafe and the economy of sex, and we ponder exactly how much money someone should charge — or pay — for a blow job. We also answer a few listener questions, including one from a man who wants to know why he hates cuddling with his girlfriend after sex, and chat with Jillian Keenan, the author of Sex with Shakespeare: Here’s Much to Do with Pain, but More with Love, which explores Keenan’s spanking fetish and how reading the great British playwright as erotica came to her rescue while she was learning to accept and explore her own sexuality:

Transgender Americans Can Now Fight And Die For A Country That Doesn’t Protect Them At Home

There is still no federal law barring workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Transgender people are now allowed to serve in the military, according to a new policy announced by Defense Secretary Ash Carter on Thursday. That means these individuals can go to war and bravely fight for their country without fear of being discharged or denied re-enlistment.
But when they come home as civilians, it will be legal to fire them.
Although a handful of states have laws barring workplace discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, there are still no federal protections for sexual orientation and gender identity.
Announcing the historic military policy change, Carter told reporters, “This is the right thing to do for our people and for the force. We’re talking about talented Americans who are serving with distinction or who want the opportunity to serve. We can’t allow barriers unrelated to a person’s qualifications to prevent us from recruiting and retaining those who can best accomplish the mission.”
The move was widely viewed as the last step in the 2010 repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” the federal law that barred LGBT people from serving openly in the armed forces.
Congress, however, has so far taken no action on the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of already protected classes (race, color, sex, religion and national origin). On the federal level, it’s still legal to discriminate against LGBT people not only in the workplace, but also in providing them access to credit, education, housing, federal financial assistance, jury service and public accommodations.
“I’m proud that the Pentagon has taken this step to ensure transgender individuals can serve our country openly, but there is much more work to be done until all LGBT Americans are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve,” said Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), one of the lead sponsors of the Equality Act. “In most states, you can get married on Saturday, post your wedding photos to Facebook on Sunday, and then lose your job or get kicked out of your apartment on Monday just because you’re LGBT.”
In recent months, the issue of public accommodations has become a major issue nationwide. States like North Carolina and cities like Houston have pushed back against efforts to outlaw LGBT discrimination, driven by conservative activists and politicians who have scared the public into thinking that male sexual predators could claim transgender status to enter women’s restrooms and assault women.

In other words, it’s fine to risk your life for your country as a service member, but don’t you dare try to use the restroom that corresponds with your gender identity when you come back.
This article has been updated to include Cicilline’s comment.

Federal Judge Blocks Mississippi's Anti-Gay Law From Taking Effect

Federal Judge Blocks Mississippi's Anti-Gay Law From Taking Effect

A federal judge on Thursday blocked a controversial “religious freedom” law in Mississippi from taking effect.
Mississippi's Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act (House Bill 1523) allows businesses to deny services to LGBT people based on their “sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions.” U.S. District Court Judge Carlton Reeves issued his order on the eve of House Bill 1523 taking effect.
Reeves wrote that the law violates “both the guarantee of religious neutrality and the promise of equal protection of the law.”

“Religious freedom was one of the building blocks of this great nation, and after the nation was torn apart, the guarantee of equal protection under the law was used to stitch it back together,” Reeves wrote in his 60-page ruling. “But HB 1523 does not honor that tradition of religious freedom, nor does it respect the equal dignity of all of Mississippi's citizens.”
Plaintiffs in the lawsuit include 13 individuals and two organizations, Joshua Generation Metropolitan Community Church and the Campaign for Southern Equality (CSE). It is one of several lawsuits challenging the law.
Roberta Kaplan, lead counsel for the Campaign for Southern Equality, said that in striking down the law, “the Court enforced the fundamental constitutional principle that the government cannot establish any religion. As a result, Mississippi will no longer be permitted to favor some 'religious beliefs' over others, and the civil rights of LGBT Mississippians will not be subordinated to the religious beliefs of only certain religious groups [opposed to LGBT rights].”
