Related: About this forum‘Sodomy is more dangerous to America than radical Islam’: Anti-LGBT preacher unendorses Trump
In the wake of the terror attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando this weekend, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has tried to paint himself as a champion of LGBT rights. In particular, Trump has claimed that his plan to ban Muslims from entering the country would save gay people from being massacred by crazed Islamist killers.
However, Trumps newfound love for the LGBT community has come at a price: Hes alienated some of his most homophobic supporters.
Pastor James David Manning, a notoriously anti-gay preacher who is a frequent guest on conspiracy theorist Alex Joness show, took to Twitter on Wednesday to announce with great sorrow that hes rescinding his endorsement of Trump due to Trumps rhetorical overtures to the LGBT community.
I am sadden (sic) to withdraw support (for Trump), he solemnly wrote. My bible beliefs are deeply held. Sodomy is more dangerous to America than radical Islam.

they are that it's easier to take a AR15 and mow down 100 people rather than face reality. Where does free speech stop and hate speech begin? At what point are people held responsible for things they say?

doesn't mean it has anything to do with religion, right? After all, he's not a real Xstian!

Or was that Hillary? No wait, it was both of them. Ah, religion - the great uniter!
