C-List homophobe Candace Cameron Bure hopes new gay-denying film gets viewers to “turn to Jesus”

Now that she’s made the hop over to her Great American Family programming network, holiday movie has-been Candace Cameron Bure is ready to live her conversion therapy-via-film fantasy.
Just a couple months after her public scrap with the Princess Diana of Gen Z lesbians JoJo Siwa, Bure is back to her loud “Christ first” messaging.
The actress is currently repping the new film Jesus Revolution, which RogerEbert.com has given a measured, well-considered two-star rating.
As opposed to Ebert’s site, Bure has total confidence in the film. She recently reposted the trailer to Instagram, saying that it could be the evangelical push audiences need to “turn to Jesus”.
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.
Christianity is in no way exclusive from queer identity if you’re doing it right, but as we’ve observed through her “traditional marriage” comments (not to mention her slamming a man for contracting HIV), we have to assume her brand of Christian isn’t rolling with the LGBT.
The movie she’s repping is entirely free of LGBTQ+ presence—on screen, anyway. This is curious, as one of the film’s most prominent characters, Lonnie Frisbee, was well-known to be gay in real life. Like, the “open secret“, “denied by other Christians for it” kind of Christian gay.
“She basically said, ‘Do you take responsibility for getting HIV because you were living a promiscuous lifestyle?'”
His sexuality is totally inextricable from his life story all the way to the end, as he passed away due to AIDS-related complications in the early ’90s. Jesus Revolution wasn’t feeling that vibe, we guess. Maybe that’s why faith-based publication Religion Unplugged refers to the film as “too dishonest to inspire a true vision.”
Even through it’s covering up of facts, glossing over events, and occasional total fabrications, Bure has total confidence that the film will be “used for His glory.” In reality, the King of all Kings can probably do a little better than this two-star production.
Even with Kelsey Grammar in the cast (somehow a late-production replacement for Jim Gaffigan?), this film might have trouble going up against Cocaine Bear this weekend. Both films are probably on the same level of sensationalizing events, but at least the bear one looks fun.
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
I couldn’t agree more. It’s 100% fantasy, with no basis in reality. If someone believes that a woman was made from a man’s rib and that some old man built a huge boat and put two of every animal on it, then they are too dumb for words.
It really helps Christians that they actually haven’t read the Bible. Well, or really know how to read above a third grade level. There is enough nonsense in the Bible to shake any rational reader’s belief.
I lost any lingering belief in a god when the Westboro Baptist Church cruelly demonstrated how horribly distorted “faith” had become at Matthew Shepard’s funeral. Living in the real world ever since. While dogma and fanaticism are still annoying AF, freedom from religion is a far more peaceful way to live.
To you Christian bashers: All Christian denominations are Not the same. How can a person compare a Southern Baptist to an Unitarian, Episcopalian or Greek Orthodox? Jews: Orthodox, Conservative and Reformed. Then there are other non Christian religions you all can bad mouth. Religion is good or bad depending on the person who lives their life. Even atheists are not the same…some are ethical and moral ( better than some Born Agains ), some atheists are as bad as Candace in bigotry. Free your mind … be Funkadelic.
Girl, don’t bust your spanx. The point is that this miserable B, and 10’s of millions of others use Christianity as an excuse for hate, intolerance and often pure evil. Radicalized Christian terrorism is a real thing dude. I saw some comments against the dogma. I didn’t see anyone say all Christian’s are bad.
There are some well-meaning, kind Christians. I have to admit. Still, it’s a cult at the end of the day that pushes harmful superstition and hate far out weighing the good.
I find it funny that these “Christians” claim to do things as Jesus would have done, but Jesus spent over 30 years on Earth and didn’t say a word about gay people. Cameron Bure’s latest movie does star Kelsey Grammer who’s been married 4 times and Jesus did talk about that. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Wow she looks like a miserable bitch.

Good call.
It runs in the family.
alamobecky
She is simply a product of her upbringing, indoctrinated into her beliefs at a very young age. She is a victim.

I will never understand the whole Christian thing. It is this mess of sick myths and little more. So glad I never had to deal with it!

That and Noah being 950 yo and all.
The biblical flood is good to throw in their faces about how pro life God is though.

Sounds like she’s getting even more delusional than her crazy brother.

Puke worthy but it does have one important thing going for it. The loons will undoubtedly flock to it. Her Brother showed her that way.

I’m so sick and tired of right wing bigots trying to shove their faked BS down our throats. And they say the ‘GAYS’ are grooming. B***S***.

That was pure cruelty.

Stop kidding yourself. All religion requires that you lack critical thinking.

Can’t wait to see her meltdown about imagined persecution when her C-list productions only attract a small and shrinking portion of the population.

religion is merely a tool to control weak minded people.

She’s very simply a hateful bigot.
