Proving once again his callousness towards LGBTQ Americans, Donald Trump invited an anti-gay bishop to deliver the White House Easter Blessing.
Bishop Harry Jackson has a long history of anti-queer rhetoric, having compared marriage equality to both a “Satanic plot to destroy our seed” and a movement “just like during the times of Hitler.” He’s also has encouraged Christians to “steal back the rainbow” from LGBTQ people.

While attending the White House, Jackson thanked Trump for his handling of the COVID-19 crisis and the controversial provision in last month’s stimulus bill that appropriated money for churches during the pandemic. “You’ve included the churches in your relief efforts,” Jackson remarked. “Many churches would have had to close down had it not been for your insightful leadership. So thank you both.”
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.
In addition to his comments about marriage equality, Jackson has raised eyebrows by claiming that condom use promotes AIDS. He’s also criticized the grassroots group Black Lives Matter, claiming it could never bring about racial justice because its leadership includes “a few lesbians who are against the patriarchal society.”

The qualification to be a Republican now is, lining your pockets with our tax dollars and Hating minorities, women, and LGBTQ people.

Anyone who wonders why the Evangelists support trump so much it’s because they own him. Dotard even got some exclusive relief money just for them. How nice. If that’s not pandering I don’t know what is.
Oh and who gives out these cracker jack title awards? Bishop…Lol

Absofreakingloutley! the Orange Turd made a Faustian bargain with those Evangelical reprehensible smcubags prior to 2016 election as long as he kowtowed to them on abortion, the SCOTUS, stripping all rights and equality from the Gay community, they would give him their unwavering unequivocal support.
Despite his multitude of his well-documented sins and transgressions against what they supposedly hold dear as foundations of their “faith” and such as bigamy adultery, sloth, fraud, lies, et all…..

What gets me is that until Trump got into politics he was anything but a religious person.
I read that his “spiritual advisor” is the minister of a mega church in the south. She has a
million dollars plus pied de terre in New York City. I wonder how many of her church members who give her money in donations live in single width trailers – and if any of them have pied-à-terres it will have to be the outhouse with the half moon out back.
I think that she has a job (and staff) in the white house now.

JESUS DID NOT DIE FOR THESE STUPID IDIOTS. NONE OF THEM ARE CHRISTIANS.

One must either believe that Jesus died for everybody, or that the notion of forgiveness and salvation by proxy through human sacrifice is ridiculous.
Personally I hold with the latter!
And for the record, anybody who claims to be Christian is. There is no arbiter.

The log cabin republicans love him, they have endorsed the entire lot.

Very few things are more disgusting than a member of a minority who spews savage reprehensible bigotry and hatred against another minority…
That abhorrent noxious smcubag conveniently seems to ignore that a generation ago Blacks were denied THEIR rights equality, bashed, ripped from their homes and lynched….
Am pretty darn sure Pence and Perkins would have had a sheets and scissors on hand at all times if they were of age during those times….
