In reply to the discussion: Pastor refuses to mourn Orlando victims: ‘The tragedy is that more of them didn’t die’ [View all]Sand Rat Expat
(290 posts)64. I'm in the process of listening to this "pastor's" "sermon."
I haven't yet heard him advocate violence against LGBTQ individuals or anyone else. I've heard him approve of it, yes, but it's one thing to say "I'm glad X happened" and "You should go out and do X." If he'd said the latter, then he needs to be arrested, tried for inciting violence, and punished to the fullest extent of the law. But to the best of my knowledge, he didn't say that.
I see where you're coming from here, but I'm going to have to disagree with you. Equating speech to murder is more than a little hyperbolic. This guy is a reprehensible bigot and deserves to be known as such far and wide, but I'd not equate him with someone who murdered another human being.

I hope he's on some kind of watch list. Things like this are how it starts IMO. n/t

Chances are, NOTHING constructive or intelligent follows the word "Pastor".
