Jonathan Shelley, a preacher of the Stedfast Baptist Church in Watauga, Texas made headlines for his extreme LGBTQ+ views once again, this time after he compared gay sex to "Indian food" in a bonkers sermon.
Shelley made the outrageous claim gay men are “causing themselves all kinds of problems" like allowing their intestines to "just fall out because of the actions that they do.”
Then, as if to prove his own point to himself, Shelley said he would rather "eat Indian food and ranch dressing" every single day rather than have gay sex.
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Referring to gay sex, Shelley said:
“Pastor Shelley, you’re gonna have to eat Indian food and ranch dressing every day of your life, or do that one time?"
“It’s like, bring on the Indian food."
"What if you, Pastor Shelley, what if you had to eat Indian food and ranch and then vomit it up and then eat it again, or do that one time?"
"It’s like, bring on the vomit.”
Shelley went on to claim men become gay because of actions like "hating God" and “reproducing” through “child molestation” and “preying on children.” He said it would be "impossible" for him to be gay because he's already been "saved."
His remarks were harshly condemned since footage of his sermon went viral.
Shelley made headlines earlier this year after he declared LGBTQ+ people should be executed because "God has already ruled that murder, adultery, witchcraft, rape, bestiality and homosexuality are crimes worthy of capital punishment.”
Shelley—whose views led to him being condemned by anti-hate groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center—is also a proud misogynist.
Over the summer, he said women should not be allowed to hold political office.
He went even further, saying he wouldn't vote for Christian nationalist Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene—a darling of the far-right who has used her own platform to promote conspiracy theories and hateful rhetoric—because she's a woman.
Shelley said it's "sick how many men today let women just run our country because they’re too cowardly to stand up to silly women," adding men should demand they "get back in the kitchen" and make sandwiches.
