Noted far-right homophobe and preacher Scott Lively has taken to the airwaves to reveal what he considers the reason for Donald Trump‘s re-election loss. In a new radio message, Lively claims God punished Trump with election loss for being too kind to LGBTQ people.
Sure, Jan.
“Trump fully endorsed and backed and applauded [Richard] Grenell [who] was an outspoken advocate for the central doctrine of the progressive movement, which is queer theory,” Lively said on the January 24 episode of the internet radio show Swamp Rangers.
In his remarks, Lively referred to Richard Grenell, the openly gay man Trump appointed as ambassador to Germany. Grenell also served as acting Direction of National Intelligence, though he was never confirmed to the position. Throughout his tenure, Grenell defended Trump as a champion of LGBTQ causes, despite a number of policies and judicial appointments hostile to queer rights.

“He defied God on a fundamental tenet of the Bible and never repented of it,” Lively added. “If Donald Trump was, as I believe, God’s man in the White House for four years, why did God not preserve it? Because if God had given him favor, nothing that mankind could have done could have removed him from that office. And yet the one thing that he did during that time that would virtually guarantee God’s favor being removed was to put his own personal stamp of approval on behavior that God condemns in the harshest possible terms in the Bible, which is specifically male homosexuality.”
Contrary to Lively’s remarks, Donald Trump ranks as the most anti-LGBTQ president in American history. He chose Mike Pence–an ardent defender of conversion therapy–as his Vice President, appointed a number of judges hostile to LGBTQ people to key positions, refused to let American embassies fly the Pride flag during the month of June, and banned transgender people from serving in the military.
Scott Lively, for his part, has also made a career out of attacking LGBTQ people, having promoted conversion therapy, pushed so-called “kill the gays” laws in African nations, and claimed a secret gay cabal was behind the rise of Nazism in Germany. He currently serves as the President of the anti-gay Abiding Truth Ministries, an organization deemed a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

So Scott obviously enjoys the Lesbian porn so female homosexuality you ate A Ok.
If Scotts God supported Trump originally he must be one morally bunkrupt misogynistic deity.

It is kind of interesting that the Christian Bible says nothing about lesbianism, but since women were typically traded as property in marriage gay women having secret affairs was probably way below the radar for these people.
By contrast ritual phallic worship and the man on man sex involved would have really chapped the hide of the ancient Jews because it involved idolatry AND mocked the patriarchy by having men take a passive role in sex.
It irked the early Christians because that religion was/is based on a hatred of everything physically pleasurable and a longing for the nebulous pleasures of life after death. They similarly would have thought little of lesbianism because they gave little thought to what women did outside of their circumscribed social role as “helpmates” to men, and family property valued for trade.

I remember someone saying years ago that any mention of man on man sin in the bible was actually referring to men raping other men. They said there were many battles where women were not around/available and men would force themselves on other men. Interesting theory. It’s not like men who were of the persuasion back then would demand brunch and a pride parade on the Sabbath.

It’s all our fault, we took out the NRA and Trump, and if Republicans piss off LGBTQ people more we’ll take away ill fitting pants, Cracker Barrell and white Supremecist Karens who have meltdowns in grocery stores.

Where’s Kieran, Don the Con’s and Richard Grenell’s ardent defender, to call out this Republican, right-wing, anti-gay and anti-LGBTQ hatemonger? Where all the other GOP defenders who rarely seem to get on camera and tell the Christianist wackdoodles in that party so that the world can see where they can stuff their hate-filled garbage? Will the Gays for Don the Con demand he denounce Scott Lively and all the other homophobes? They used to demand that Obama denounce whatever fringe person on the Left popped up, but I rarely if ever saw them demand the same of W Bush, let alone Failed Ex-Prez Donny Two Scoops.

Trump was KIND to our community? LMFAO at that……

Odd how GOD decided to punish Trump for being “kind” to gay men yet he completely gave a pass on his numerous divorces and the way he lusts after his daughter! Oh and I’m sure we could find a scripture somewhere that would confirm that hair of his is absolutely sinful!

Well at least this guy admits that Trump actually did lose the election so he is only half mad.

Great point!

On behalf of the LGBTQ community, I say “You’re welcome!”

Countdown to this scumbag being outed for molesting someone or something. Men like him are always hearing from God while they’re porking someone or something they shouldn’t.
Imjustsaying
You’re welcome, World.

Crimes against humanity Nazi says what? This shithead deserves a bullet for whipping countries up for genicide.
Luckily wherever he spoke he got laughed out of the room when running for Governor. People see through his BS rhetoric.

Back in the 80’s Scott was a coleader of a group I believe was called Citizens United here in Oregon. The group managed to get three anti-gay measures on the ballot three different times. Each of them defeated. Then, after Scott assaulted a woman, he fled to South Africa and became an adviser to the anti-gay government.

If we gays caused Trump to lose the election, that is quite a legacy for the LGBTQ community. Besides doing the country the greatest favor posslble, it serves to show the other homophobes to mind your own business when it comes to the gays of America.
It other people’s lives do not affect your’s then mind your own business and dull existence. Do not irritate us or we gays will stir up a few Class V hurricanes on to you.
One last comment “Preacher” Lively.
You are no more a man of God than Donald Trump.

God, heysus, whatever. All a fragment of the imagination. Imaginary sky daddies for the wretched believers trying to control us all with their BS.

I will happily take my share of the credit for ousting tRump!
