Pastor Donnie Romero has gone viral.
Im going to explain to you why God wants these people to be put to death, Romero declared during a sermon in December. The word of God is very clear that God is against the sodomites, that theyre filthy, and it says theyre an abomination to God.
A clip from Romeros sermon, posted on YouTube by Right Wing Watch, has been viewed more than 28,000 times. It also helped land Romeros Fort Worth church on the Southern Poverty Law Centers annual list of active anti-LGBT hate groups.
Their gay-bashing is intense, said Heidi Beirich, director of SPLCs Intelligence Project. Stedfast Baptist Church is very crude in its hatred. Thats not a complicated thing to explain why we put them on the hate list. Romero didnt return a phone call seeking comment.
Stedfast Baptist is one of two Texas-based organizations added to the list this year. The other is Probe Ministries of Plano. They joined longstanding designee Tom Brown Ministries of El Paso. The increase in Texas contributed to a 10 percent jump in anti-LGBT hate groups nationwide, from 40 to 44.
