OUT NEWS Trump's Bible teacher says gays among those to blame for COVID-19

In a blog post titled “Is God Judging America Today?” a pastor who leads a weekly bible study group for President Donald Trump and members of his Cabinet blamed the coronavirus pandemic on several groups, including those who have “a proclivity toward lesbianism and homosexuality.”

America “is experiencing the consequential wrath of God,” the Rev. Ralph Drollinger wrote on his Capitol Ministries blog on March 21.

In addition to gays and lesbians, Drollinger — a former professional basketball player who The New York Times recently referred to as Trump’s “shadow diplomat” — also laid blame on people with “depraved minds,” environmentalists and those who deny the existence of God.

Alphonso David, president of the national LGBTQ advocacy group Human Rights Campaign, said “Drollinger’s horrific assertions are ludicrous” and said his “shameful views cannot be ignored.”

and your daughters have done. This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty, and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them when I saw it ... So be ashamed, you also, and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous ...

I have a coworker who listed to American Family Radio non-stop all day. I went into his office one day last week and heard somebody on it say that the only city that really needed to lockdown was San Francisco because all gay men have compromised immune systems. You know, because of the butt stuff.

I wonder whether they ever self-reflect long enough to contemplate that.

This is going to kill Christians, Southerners, Republicans, Gays, Straights, children, teenagers, and every other demographic you care to name.

Atheists, environmentalists, gays, Christians and any other other group you care to name will survive as well.

Infectious disease doesn't give a shit who it kills and it's not taking directions from gawd.

That might have worked in 2001, but it definitely does not work in 2020. Seriously, piss off, Drollinger.

Gays are to "blame" because we lead sinful "lifestyles" (BTW, if you fancy yourself a liberal or progressive, DON'T EVER and I mean FUCKING NEVER refer to the LGBT community's being as a "lifestyle"!!!! and !!!! NOT EVER!!!!). Of course, it didn't take long for many to blame the Jews and Israel. As a member of two of three, EVERY time there is a disaster, we know we will be blamed by the RW nut jobs, but, every now and again, it starts to seep into the mainstream, or rather, the less-than-crazy population. Because of where this virus appears to have first appeared, Asians and Asian-Americans are also getting blamed.

STOP THE MADNESS!
