White House streams bishop saying 'the devil' makes people gay

THE White House has livestreamed a church service which saw the US vice-president speak and a bishop claim “the devil” causes homosexuality.

After Mike Pence addressed the congregation in Tennessee, the preacher took to the pulpit to talk about same-sex relations in a sermon still available on the administration’s YouTube channel.

“It is a demonic spirit that causes a woman to want to live with another woman,” he said. “It is a demonic spirit that causes a man to be attracted to another man.”

The preacher, who has been named as Bishop Jerry Wayne Taylor, claimed the “devil” was trying to “destroy the foundation of marriage” and “cut off the reproduction process”.

“Two men can’t have a baby. Two women can’t have a baby,” he told the crowd at the Holy City Church of God in Christ.

The White House has been condemned on social media for streaming the sermon.

One person tweeted: “Did I misunderstand the part about separation of church and state?”

The vice-president – known for his religious conservatism – said he visited the Memphis church to celebrate its anniversary and Martin Luther King, the day before a national holiday commemorated the civil rights leader.

After Mr Pence spoke, the bishop told the crowd homosexuality was against nature.

“You never see two male animals coming together,” he said – though research has found that over 1,500 species engage in homosexual behaviour.

The White House defended Mr Pence from accusations of homophobia by claiming the fact he met Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and his partner showed he was not “anti-gay”, but Donald Trump reportedly once joked Mr Pence “wanted to hang all gay people”.

it’s a one way street to totalitarianism that’s well traveled lately while the blt@dq community crams this crap in our faces on a daily basis and we’re forbidden to speak the truth against it...

Don't tell that to the penguins! It's highly offensive.

So, the VP spoke at the church and a bishop spoke at the same church. The bishop has points of view defined by his religion. So what! Get over it snowflakes!

Wasn't almost all of those 'homosexual behaviors' just males in heat trying to bang anything they see moving? Or, just pack dominance? I'm pretty sure they've only seen one or two cases of actual homosexuality in other species.

Just like a dog will hump anyone’s leg, some animals will do that too- I have yet to see where an animal allowed another to anally penetrate though.
