Right-wing pastor celebrates Club Q massacre as 'good thing' in hate-filled sermon [View all]
A Washington state pastor celebrated the mass shooting last weekend at an LGBTQ nightclub that left five people dead.
Aaron Thompson, of Sure Foundation Baptist Church in Vancouver, said the massacre was a "good thing" and falsely claimed the victims had been molesting children, although he walked that back moments later by saying their had only been looking at children in an inappropriate way, reported Only Sky.
"Am I sad that five homos got shot?" Thompson said Tuesday in a sermon. "No, I’m not sad at all. As a matter of fact, I think it’s a good thing that they’re not here anymore to molest kids."
The gunman opened fire during a drag performance, which have become a target of conservative outrage, but the event at Club Q in Colorado Springs was not open to anyone younger than 18, unlike child-friendly "drag queen story hours" hosted by many libraries.

This event has been horrific and traumatizing for the GLBT community, please do not compound that misery with presumptive accusations this pastor is a "secret gay"! Plenty of people who hate queer people are STRAIGHT, accept this.
