Florida church plans a three-day 'Make America Straight Again' conference [View all]

A group of far-right pastors who have previously called for the execution of gay people plan to host a “Make America Straight Again” three-day conference this week.

Patrick Boyle of the Revival Baptist Church, which is located in a rundown storefront at a Clermont strip mall, says the event will kick off Friday, June 14, just days after the three-year anniversary of 49 people getting gunned down at the gay nightclub Pulse.

In a video announcing the bigot fest, Boyle says the aim is to expose the “reprobates” and “sodomites and the filth that they’ve been spreading to the homes of families across the world and the United States of America.” He then incorrectly cites Ecclesiastes to argue that not only is homosexuality wrong, but members of the LGBTQ community cannot be saved.

“They will be out and proud of who they are and daring someone to say something,” said Boyle in the video, “and we’re going to go ahead and take them up on it. This conference is going to be explaining our view, or rather God’s view, on it.”
