Check, please? Last week, fundamentalist preacher/human war crime Adam Fannin thought it wise to dedicate one of his sermons to the ins and outs of avoiding gay service people.
According to Patheos, the vaguely humanoid specimen is a pastor over at Jacksonville Stedfast Baptist in Florida.

Incidentally, this is the same guy who celebrated the Pulse massacre, saying, “the earth is a little bit better place now.”

Speaking to his congregation, Fannin said:
“If I ever go to a restaurant and you sit down, and then here comes this flaming foo-foo fruit loop, right? And you’re like, ‘Oh great. I’m here to have date night, enjoy some time with my wife, and I can’t… because of the lisps, I can’t even, you know.’
My recommendation — if you don’t just get up and leave — my recommendation is just don’t order anything. ‘Well, here, let me get you a drink.’ No, just wait. Just wait. And you sit there patiently and you look around, and you will find a lady that looks like a mom, that looks like a very diligent worker.
You will find somebody that you notice that’s busy, that’s doing stuff. You say, ‘Yeah, that’s the one right there!’ You walk up to them and you say, ‘Hey, what’s your name? Have we had you before? Can we get you over here?’… I guarantee you it always works… Then you can enjoy your dinner and, hey, you better tip her well! Let that foo-foo know what he missed out on, okay? That’s how you avoid a gay waiter.”
Watch the sermon below, if you can stomach it:
Paco
He’s a gay sex scandal waiting to happen.
NateOcean
For sure.
Those lips look vaguely familiar. Like the ones I’ve seen on the receiving end of the of the I-95 truckstop glory holes, just outside Jacksonville.
lovetennis2
Who taught him to speak English? “If I go to a restaurant and you sit down…”
Why is he upset that somebody else sits down with him?
Kieran
Why do some gay people resort to what they apparently believe is the worst insult they can hurl at someone—–accusing them of being gay too? It would be like Jewish people accusing every anti-Semite of being secretly Jewish.
Paco
Because, Kieran, there are enough examples of the most virulent homophobes being revealed to be closeted gays and bisexuals.
It’s not an insult. It’s my own instincts and life experience that question his over the top hatred of gays. I’ve found, in my experience, that our worst enemies end up being fellow gays that can’t handle their own same-sex attraction.
Kangol
@Kieran, as Scientific American showed a few years back, studies suggest a correlation between homophobia and self-described straight men who are sexually aroused by gay porn or male-male sexual imagery. So it is more complex that just saying that it’s the “worst insult” to call someone who’s homophobic and anti-gay of being gay. Not everyone who is homophobic has a same-sexual or fluid orientation, but clearly some subset of homophobic *men* do. More to the point, why do you consider it to be an “insult” at all to call someone gay if you’re gay yourself and not homophobic? If someone points out that a homophobic closet-case gay person is gay, that’s not an insult, that’s the truth, isn’t it?
Heywood Jablowme
Besides, he has a gay haircut and a gay beard. And some vaguely gay mannerisms if you watch the video. He must get mistaken for gay a lot.
pudman56
Kieran, it’s no secret that the more hate spewing vitriolic actions and the never ending persecution of a certain group often leads to the next logical conclusion. Some of that Hitler DNA lives on. They choose to live in a closet of many hangers holding many disguises for hater who has a lot of “unnatural” wet dreams. I don’t trash talk straight people even though I don’t understand what turns them on. And, mostly, I don’t teach hate. Worse is it’s being taught by a “man of God” or however that phrase goes.
I went to 2 restaurants today. One, we had a waiter. I don’t know if he was gay or not. Surprise, surprise. If he was, or if he wasn’t, the food was fabulous. I was a waiter most of my life what really bugged me was when we’d get a new hire and we (the gay men working at whatever establishment) were disappointed to find out they were straight because we wanted them on our team. But I don’t go to a restaurants seeking a gay waiter, I go in anticipation of some good eats.
carver.robertd
Gee! Ya think? Judging by his appearance and mannerisms–the same way he judges other people–I’d say he’s most likely to be found in the middle stall of a men’s room, with glory holes in both partitions, being spit-roasted!
Hillers
Too the words right out of my mouth!
DuMaurier
If I understand Kieran’s point it went over a few heads. The issue isn’t genuinely ‘thinking’ (for a valid reason) that someone might be gay, but using being gay as a shaming insult. Although the intent is different, it’s pretty much the same as calling someone [insert gay slur] back in high school as the best way to humiliate him. Whatever the reasons (and please don’t tell me scientific studies are the impetus) the message still comes out as: “The most embarrassing, shaming zinger I can throw is ‘you’re gay!'”
dwes09
Actually no. This Kieran fellow is not particularly bright and the concept of science is way beyond his ken. So he actually feels that those who characterize homophobes as being deep in the closet are motivated by progressive intent, and that drives him crazy. I suspect that he is ignorant of the difference between belief and empirical investigation.
BGinBigD
AMEN to that. He definitely looks like a bottom bitch to me. Bless his heart, he’s a closet case.
dbchannel
I’m not sure why a HETEROSEXUAL man on a romantic date, would care whether or not his waiter was male or female or gay or straight. If it’s a romantic dinner, he probably shouldn’t be paying much notice to anyone but, you know, his date.
marcinmass
Stay home. Restaurants have enough axxholes and don’t need you. Better yet, dare the fXxX to come in and I’ll put some spunk in your food. You are not welcome in restaurants if you’re homophobic. Duh, most restaurant waiters are gay. Cook, and keep your hatred, at home.
hungpowertop
Kieran vitriolic homophobia like this is often a sign of self-loathing due to being born gay, but brought up thinking it is wrong. People are born gay but turn into outspoken homophobes because they are taught being gay is vile and wrong, this in turns leads to them hating themselves which manifests by being militantly homophobic. It’s essentially manifestation of emotional abuse. People who are abused often act out in seemingly paradoxical ways.
hungpowertop
Look at how many outspoken homophobic politician pastors, politicians, etc. are caught in gay sex scandals. Look at how the catholic church is a laughing stock due to rampant pedophelia. When you teach someone being born gay is wrong, it backfires and they act out in an attempt to fight how they were born.

Then he secretly heads back there the following night without his wife and makes sure he sits in that waiter’s section and I’m sure it’s him who gets the big tip.

The best would be if the waitress they recruit turns out to be a lesbian hot for his wife.

This preacher is obviously looking for some attention. And you gave it to him. Congratulations.

What a shock, the troll who defends Republican bigots doesn’t like that you ran this article.
Guess your USUAL tactic of claiming that only Mulsims hate lgbts won’t work here now will it?
hungpowertop
Kieran also seems to have some repressed urges and is wanting some attention.
Meltin
Perhaps. If he is poking around the Queerty comments section.
Jaxton
To be fair, he’s only referring to the extremely camp waiters – you know, the ones who choose to have attitude and mince a lot.
scotshot
It doesn’t matter how people present themselves. I’ve known several men who “act” more gay than straight – mannerisms speech, etc. who have been extreme pu$$y hounds.

Looks like our self-hating homophobic trolls Kieran and Jaxton (and no doubt, Danny595) would also try to avoid the foo-foo fruit loop waiters!
Gaytaffuk
Danielle595 IS that foo-foo fruit loop waiter!!!
girldownunder
“….Kieran and Jaxton (and no doubt, Danny595) ….”
Seem especially upset that this guy is being tagged as closeted, because it’s hitting a bit too close to home. Takes all kinds I guess– even str8’s who hang around gay sites, like, sure. All the totally hetero men do it.
The other take to this is the ones who say they’re gay- but are there in their secret, str8 “persona” trying to convince themselves that they’re ONLY there to troll- lol. Man, call in the shrinks- stat!
mvcy89
After seeing so many “Christians” support Roy Moore in AL, these people have lost the right to object to “immoral” behaviour. As a Christian myself, it sickens me to see “men of God” using the Bible to persecute LGBTQ people, but also using it to justify hate.

When i was a waiter back in the day, in Florida, we used to pay the hostess to seat the right wing bible thumpers with someone else. Worst tippers ever and high maintenance like you wouldn’t believe.

Just another good reason to be an atheist.
ElPillo
Why? This guy is not Christian, he belongs to hate-filled Satan

Uh, there is no such thing as “satan”. Just another of the four Christian “Gods”. And yet another thing that keeps so many people from entering the 21st century from the 12th century thinking they are mired in.
darren michaels
I’m thinkin someone needs to question if the preacher is qualified to be preaching anything … I’ve always understood GOD was all loving..No where in the bible did GOD offer advice on hate.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35
Assholes like this plant the seeds of hate and divide nations that otherwise prefer to stand United.

Just because he is disrespectful, that doesn’t make him a closeted case. One commentator says that he has a gay beard and gay haircut. He doesn’t look gay at all and now you are seeing something that is not there.

It’s ironic that a homophobic male always associates “gay” with men. Nothing about a lesbian server, just the gay male wait staff. It continues to be these “straight men” that are the ones caught with a gay social media app account or have already had an “experience”, in the past, and are so guilt ridden that they make gay men a target for their homophobic rants. What a miserable, sad, sad man.

Kieran, honey, since you are too moronic to figure out matters of BASIC COMMON SENSE:
Bullet list just for you:
*We fear what THREATENS.
**The BUY-BULL itself features the line ‘The wicked flee when no man pursueth.’ That, translated just for you, means that people who deliberately practice obsessive sociopathy against a given sexuality have a bee in their very own little bonnets about that sexuality and their guilt about it.
***See The Onion’s hilarious piece ‘Why Do All These Homosexuals Keep Sucking My C*ck?’
****Get an effing clue.

Kieran is a GOP loving self hating moron of the worst kind. Even the people of Alabama saw through the BS.
Little baby is going to be blubbering next year when his party loses 4-5 Senate seats and 70-100 House seats. Biggest political shift since the 1930s.

Right on jsmu!
rockland2u
strangely enough, that kinda works for me, because i dont wanna serve, hate (that would be you), and second no way your leaving a tip, no matter how professional the service, and lastly if a little lisp is all it takes to attack your masculinity and distract you from a date night with your wife, perhaps your not focused on her as much as you should be, to start with. and at least this way, the server has a chance a getting a tip (until you find out she is a single mother or some such, anything to get out of paying your way, and not miss a chance to judge other sinners

I like frankie’s idea – get a group of the nelliest queens you can find – 20 or 30 of them – arrive at church and enter just after the service has started and parade all the way down to the front row. The the next Sunday do the same thing but get Dykes on Bikes to go to church there and do the same thing. And the next week – the butchest, oozing testosterone leather queens in all their finery.

These bigots are going to be wiped out politically next year. Alabama was just the beginning. None of their seats of power are safe. Doug Jones even said he was both pro-LGBT and pro-choice. And he won in deeply red Alabama.
2018 will be the biggest political paradign shift since the 1930 midterms and 2020 will be more like the 1932 general election. Fortunately without the great depression unless Republicans manage to crash the economy by then which is possible.

So let me understand this. With all the problems in the world, hatred, war, greed, child abuse, etc etc, he feels it is more important to have a sermon on how to avoid gay wait staff?

What a nasty way of showing your hate, pseudo man of god. Using slurs you chose you think are the most hurtful and slanderous. These people are giving Christians a bad name. Jesus would have a coronary if he came back and saw these ignorant rednecks like this creature and Pence representing him. Jacksonville is a very backward place. You have South Georgia,god forbid and then north Florida. Otherwise I can’t see how this creature would even have a congregation. When they heard fou fou fruit loop why didn’t they leave? That’s like your pastor us a 12 year old bully who gives wedgies.

If their Jesus came back, they would call him a socialist, liberal snowflake and then crucify him again. They have rabidly turned on other Christians that denounced Trump and Moore for reasons of faith, which included death threats for not putting political power before their faith.

And to add… the GOP and American evangelical Christianity have become so tightly intertwined to the point of almost being synonymous with each other.
The GOP is now the “religion” and evangelical Christianity has become the political party.

Sounds like he’s “preaching” personal opinion. My Bible says nothing about avoiding foo foo froot loop waiters. My Bible says Jesus sat, dined & prayed with sinners and told us to love them. He’s a bigot. Most protestant pastors preach personal opinion, I’ve had experience with this. Pastor hardly ever spoke about a passage ACTUALLY from the bible. He must have gotten his pastoral certification off some bogus internet site. Sounds more like a hate group or cult meeting to me. He’ll be in for a big surprise when upon his death he’ll be spending ETERNITY in fire and torture amongst Lucifer and his legion.

OH… and if you manage not to piss off the management… you WILL piss off the wait staff. I have had more than a few co-workers stand up for what is RIGHT and not give in to bigotry and intolerance.
