Sunlight on these cockroaches.

A Brunswick pastor, in the wake of the Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando, tweeted that gays got what they deserve, the latest in his long track record of anti-gay rhetoric and fighting LGBT equality efforts.
Pastor Kenneth Adkins (photo), who lives in Brunswick and operates a public relations firm in Jacksonville, Fla., posted the tweet on June 13 just a day after a gunman mowed down 49 people inside the gay bar and injured more than 50 others.
Via the Florida Times-Union:
Adkins tweet said: been through so much with these Jacksonville homosexuals that I dont see none of them as victims. I see them as getting what they deserve!!
Adkins tweet was roundly denounced, including criticism from Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, who called it appalling.
Adkins tried to walk back the tweet by saying it wasnt posted in reaction to the Orlando massacre, but instead was a reaction to his ongoing efforts opposing an LGBT-inclusive non-discrimination ordinance for the Florida city. Adkins opposition helped stall the measure earlier this year.

Funny how this guy's God relations and public relations both seem in the toilet.

. . . NOTHING constructive, intelligent or noteworthy comes after the word "Pastor".
