Kevin Swanson: 'God Is Burning Down California' As Punishment For Legitimizing Homosexuality

Radical anti-LGBTQ radio host and pastor Kevin Swanson said on his “Generations” radio program today that the wildfires that are ravaging California are God’s punishment on the state for its years of attempting to “legitimize the sin of homosexuality.”

“If you look at the history of California, they have been at the forefront of this,” he said. “The first gay pride march occurred in San Francisco in 1970 and then San Francisco legitimized homosexuality in 1972. In 1982, Laguna Beach, California, elected the first openly homosexual mayor in United States history. In 1999, California adopted a domestic partnership law; I believe it was one of the first in the nation to do that.”

“In 2005,” Swanson continued, “California state legislators became the first in the nation to pass a same-sex marriage law … In 2008, the California Supreme Court then struck down Prop 22 in regard to marriage cases, and Prop 8 also was struck down later on that year, I believe. In 2011, California became the first state to mandate homosexual indoctrination for K-8 students and then, in 2012, California became the first state to sign a ban on therapy that was attempting to convert homosexuals into non-homosexuals. And then, in 2017, the California state schools implemented the homosexual indoctrination program … and that was the kickoff for the biggest fires that California has ever seen in its history.”

“So God is burning down California in 2017 and 2018 after about 25 years of leading the pack to legitimize the sin of homosexuality in that state,” Swanson declared.

for kidnapping children and exposing them to child molesters?

When is God going to punish these heretic liar prosperity preachers that claim to be followers of his Son and oppose everything Jesus taught?

Psalm 140:12
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted And justice for the poor

James 5:1-3
“Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.”

Because he sure sends a lot of tornadoes and hurricanes through them. This is prime Trump Country, so by extension, God must hate Trump Voters.

Whether we are burning down California or throwing the election to the POS "president" because we dared to demand our equality, homophobia (and heterosexism) play a significant part in everyday politics and life, so much so, many, including some GLBT people, don't even see how dangerous it has become.
