An Indiana pastor accused of child molestation and his doting wife were both arrested this week.
72-year-old Garry Evans is, er, was the pastor of the Rushville Baptist Temple in Rushville, Indiana where he regularly preached about the evils of homosexuality for nearly three decades.
Last October, he was arrested after several girls from his church, all under the age of 10, told their parents he had lured them into his office with candy then touched them inappropriately. Evans made bond as was released from custody.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Well, now, he’s back in jail. This time for trespassing and resisting law enforcement.
Earlier this week, Evans and his wife Gay stormed their son’s property. Apparently he and his parents had a falling out after the sex scandal broke last October.
The Evans circled their son’s yard then banged on the door. When their daughter-in-law told them they “weren’t welcome there,” they refused to leave and remained screaming and yelling on the front porch until the daughter-in-law chased them off with a baseball bat.
Police were called. According to reports, when they intervened, Evans and his wife became “verbally abusive and physically resisted officers.” They were arrested. Gay eventually posted bond and was released, but Garry remains in custody.
But the drama doesn’t stop there.

After getting home, Gay allegedly left her estranged son several threatening voicemails, which her daughter-in-law then shared on Facebook.
“I just got out of jail,” she said in one of the messages. “I hope you’re a very happy, son. Your daddy is in there and he’s probably going to be staying in there. What is wrong with you? You are sick!”
Other family members also joined in on the attacks.
“This is insane,” another voicemail from a different family member said. “What the f*ck is wrong with you, you stupid idiot?”
“You’re fine with them arresting your 72-year-old father and 70-year-old mother? Really? Really? Are you that big of a piece of scum?” said a third person in a third voicemail.
A jury trial in the molestation case is scheduled for March 20, 2018.

Nooooooo! Reallllllly??!?!?? That’s just hard to believe! Just like science, gravity and that ole ‘Earth is round” argument!
POINT AND MOCK, people, POINT AND MOCK!
And that goes all the “Christians” who are giving President Shithead a “mulligan” for paying off his porn-star he was schtupping while Melania was home recovering from childbirth.

I’m sure Melania was grateful for any time away from the Dotard but I get your point.
Redmage
Nasty ass bastard, oh god I can’t stand people like this.

I’m sure his defense will be that he was only living by God’s law when he was luring little girls with candy. The Roy Moore defense.

My husband and I have been happily together for 39 years and never one touched a child inappropriately or ever once had the urge to, but we have been demonized by church leaders and religious family members as immoral for being openly gay and simply loving one another.
Now I am in my 60s and with years of brevity behind me and think it is indeed one of life’s strange repeating patterns that so many so called “religious leaders” , are directing their hypocritical hate speech on the LGBTQ, purposely to deflect and to hide the fact that they are the ones with the sick sexual hang ups…
the_ashpan
well said! I HATE how these religious zealots point the finger at LGBT like we’re all child molesters! Although we have moved on significantly in the last 20yrs in the UK so we don’t really get much of that anymore……but it never fails to shock me when I see some of the American religious nuts spewing their venom……ESPECIALLY politicians, jeeez they would never be elected over here for ANY discriminatory rhetoric…..or religious rhetoric come to think of it.
Mack
Actually his defense will be that God told him to do it to drive out the evil.
happiness17
There are some ignorant people who think that if a person is LGBT that they’re a child molester. That’s bull! It’s sad that even in 2018 some
people feel that way. The fact of the matter is that most people who sexually
abuse children are heterosexual.
Kieran
Religious hypocrites are the worst.
DHagy
You are so right, but the world is full of them isn’t it? I have always had a problem with “organized” religion. They preach one thing and then do the exact opposite…WITH NO REMORSE. Well, unless they are caught or exposed–then they’re full of remorse. If so many didn’t think they sat on the right hand of their god, they wouldn’t have so far to fall when they f**k up.
Paco
That’s because their religion gives them a convenient excuse to practice a do-as-I-say, not-as-I-do hypocritical philosophy. They just shrug their shoulders and say “We’re all sinners. Jesus washed my sins away… Except for those homosexuals. Unforgivable!!!”.
I don’t believe in religious sin, but they claim to when they don’t like what other people are doing.
I’m glad that they have turned their religion into a political lobby. Their religion has been exposed for the sham it really is. A religion of the ethically corrupt. For the rich and against the poor, protection of child predators, crapping on the “sanctity of heterosexual marriage” with divorce (Jesus says no) and adultery (an abomination for which adulterers shall be put to death).
It’s all hypocritical B.S. I just roll my eyes and laugh when they try to exert any moral authority.
Bocaboy
You are so correct Kieran. They are self righteous and loathing sorry excuses of humanity.

Between the men of the cloth and Republican congressman, I guess this has reached meme status.

“Queer” means transgressing conventional norms of sexuality or gender. Child molestation, which is universally reviled, stigmatized and criminalized, is a transgression of conventional norms of sexuality. Therefore, according to the definition used by the “queers” themselves, pastor Garry Evans is certainly “queer.” When you call yourself “LGBTQ,” you are telling the world that you share a common identity with Garry.
Kangol
No you’re not. But you apparently have issues with effeminate gay men, gay sexual freedom, trans people of all kinds, and queer people. That’s on you, not anyone else. The vast majority of LGBTQ people are far away from these Christianite perverts as Neptune is from the sun.
Curtispsf
Queerty is read by queer people. You read Queerty. Therefore, you’re queer except that label is only used by gay people in a positive way and no self respecting queer would ever claim YOU as one of “theirs”. You’re queer as in unusual or “outside the norm” because you ARE, Blanche. You ARE. So queer. If you’re straight, what exactly are you doing reading a gay identified site? Oh, that’s right….to demean queer people who are “fabulously queer”. Buildings contain closets. Closets are where Gay Republicans hide when they’re afraid to come out. Therefore, look into any building and you’re liable to find queer closet case Republicans…like yourself, you sick douche bag.
alanballs
@Danny595: you could not possibly be more wrong. Your “logic” is queer.
Mr.Tim
Molestation, especially of children, is universally accepted as perverse and unacceptable regardless of sexual identity. Molestation is rape and cannot be condoned by civilized society. You, sir, have no business here.
Danny595
Mr. Tim – It is precisely because it is so widely condemned that the people who engage in it are “queer.” Indeed, Garry is the queerest of queers because he violates the most conventional of all sexual norms.
You can’t have it both ways, waging war on conventional sexual norms and then embracing conventional norms when queerness freaks you out. You are either queer or you aren’t. Rape, molestation, abuse, sexual torture, sex trafficking – all queer, according to the definition given to us by queers.
Selma007
And this my queer friends is a perfect example of gaslighting. Don’t fall for it. It’s a common tactic with a very intensional purpose.
batesmotel
The wife’s name is “Gay”? Interesting. Wholesome mid-western church lovers arrested for child molestation.
OzJosh
The frequency with which these God-botherers get sprung for the “sins” they condemn from the pulpit – or for kiddie fiddling – is now such that proclaiming yourself and anti-gay evangelical is pretty much an admission of depravity. I wonder when they’ll get a clue and just shut up.
Mick406
There are no greater ‘violators’ of the ‘abuse of religion’ than the Muslims. I believe beheading and killing innocent people is a far greater transgression than sexual sins. I condemn them both. I find it odd that everyone piles on when a minister commits a deviant act, yet we quietly let the Islamists literally get by with murder!
Paco
“Islamists” aren’t getting away with murder in the U.S. Stop trying to deflect.
And everyone “piles on when a Christian minister commits a deviant act” in the U.S., because for decades they have tried to force people to obey their Religion and are now being outed for the hypocrites they really are when they applaud and protect their corrupt religious leaders.
I’m just waiting for Pence’s closet of hypocrisy to be blown wide open. That will be hilarious.
Juanjo
Oh Jesus, this drivel again. We are discussing a Christian preacher living in the United States who is kiddy diddling. Stop with the tu quoque argument and deflection about Muslims.
happiness17
First of all this article has nothing to do with Muslims. To behead and kill innocent people is barbaric and unacceptable. Most Muslims aren’t
criminals. It’s only a small percentage of them who are violent and kill
people. It’s very unfair to judge a whole group of people just because a small few of them do bad things. It’s the same way with priests. Only a small
few of them have molested children. As a whole most are good people.
Mr.Tim
26 innocent Transgendered souls were killed in 2017, mostly by Christian men. More accurately you should say “There are no greater ‘violators’ of the ‘abuse of religion’ than MEN”
Kheft
As with everything else coming out of AmeriKKKa for over a year now, this old Canadian is shocked but not surprised. Are all AmeriKKKan Christians pedophiles, or just most of them? Why are so many of them from Southern States? Something toxic in the drinking water? Or something toxic in the gene pool? Whatever you do, keep those degenerate perverts away from young people.
kcXanadu
I Don’t get Queerty’s headline.
We have fought against people associating being gay and pedophilia. The headline suggests that this anti gay pastor was doing “gay things”. He wasn’t. He’s a pedaphile and that has NOTHING to do with his anti gay stance. They are two different things and two different topics. Stop associating the two. It only hurts us.
Curtispsf
KcXanadu. While I agree that there is no association between pedophilia and homosexuality, I fail to see how the headline “Antigay pastor and wife arrested after he’s busted for luring kids with candy then molesting them” associates pedophiles with being gay. It doesn’t suggest that the Pastor was doing “gay things”. In fact, this sicko heterosexual was doing what 94% of all pedophiles do: molesting little girls. I agree that being a pedophile has nothing to do with being gay. I just don’t see the association being made in this article.
olfwob
What is wrong with this family? Attacking the son because he is not ok with his childmolesting father? i guess the police should look into the behavior of the rest of this family.
olfwob
The wife`s name is GAY? For real? “This GAY predators should burn in hell… oh no, what i meant to say was this homosexuel predators hould burn in hell, sorry honey”
happiness17
One can only imagine how scared and fearful the girls who this sicko abused were. Child molesters don’t do well in prison. Although “Tubby”
isn’t prime meat I’m sure there are some inmates who will get pleasure
from him. The pastor is going to experience fear and being scared just like
all of the girls he molested every day. The family members who support him are dense and full of denial.
t
Well, at least he isn’t gay, though his wife is! 😉
oldgayvermonter
Such a nice family!
Mr.Tim
Hey, if I had a family member who was molesting kids trying to get into my house I would take up a bat against them, especially if I had children there.
alanballs
It’s become more clear than ever before, that many of the people who scream and protest the loudest about the “evils of homosexuality” (and other so-called sins), are often the ones who have secret, illegal, immoral, perverted sexual appetites and multiple victims themselves.
And yes, many of them are “Christians”, bible-thumpers, jeezus-freaks, secretly recruiting, kidnapping, trading, grooming and molesting their young, innocent victims.
As a very proud and out, moral, decent, hardworking, successful gay man, living in China, being labeled a pervert by, and scapegoat for these hypocritical scumbags has come to a screeching halt.
Your time is OVER!
