Hate pastor cites fake meme as “proof” that LGBTQ+ people are all pedophiles

Matt Powell, a young hate pastor, has claimed that LGBTQ+ people want to “force pedophilia down people’s throats.” As proof of this, he cited a fake anti-LGBTQ+ meme, calling it a new “sign” released by the queer community. He has previously said the U.S. government should “humanely” execute all gay people.

Powell continued, “They’re trying to recruit the children and that ought to anger you inside…. Scientifically speaking, just because people were like, ‘Oh, these homos are not dangerous.’ Wait a minute. If a man is willing to make out with another man, what makes you think he would stop there?”

This isn’t the first time that Powell has made outrageously anti-LGBTQ+ statements. In 2018, Powell said that the U.S. government should execute gay people.

“As far as homosexuality goes, you know, I believe the Bible puts the death penalty on it,” Powell said. “I believe it’s disgusting…. Obviously, [the death penalty is not carried out] by me or anybody in a regular society, obviously. I believe it’s the government’s job to execute criminals. By whatever means they execute people. And obviously, I believe in humane, you know, putting to death. That’s what the Bible says. I believe the Bible. I didn’t write the Bible.”

Ancient Biblical laws also require the death penalty for anyone who practices fortune telling, curses their mother or father, accidentally kills someone else’s animal, or commits blasphemy. Other Old Testament laws demand death for anyone who charges interest on loans or works on Saturdays.

Most contemporary Christians don’t follow these ancient Biblical laws and say that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ made them obsolete. However, conservative Christians tend to cite these laws as proof that God shares their hatred of LGBTQ+ people.
