Bud Light has seen a lot of conservative transphobic backlash since their single campaign with Dylan Mulvaney.
Transphobia is everywhere lately, and unsurprisingly Evangelical Christians are helming the ship.
One in particular is Baptist Pastor Tommy McCurtryof Liberty Baptist Church in Rock Falls, Illinois.
In a recent sermon, Pastor McCurtry stated:
“It’s 2023 and this [trans slur] stuff is everywhere. And it’s absolutely revolting.”
Despite his Bud Light outrage, McCurtry claims he doesn’t drink alcohol.
But the minister does drink Dr. Pepper and during the same sermon his transphobic ideations quickly and bizarrely spiraled into misogyny.
McCurtry exclaimed:
“Dr. Pepper?"
"You know whatever, if Dr. Pepper turns out this whole time was a woman—I always thought it was a guy—I’ll quit drinking it, right there.”
You can watch his comments here:
\u201cChristian hate-preacher Tommy McMurtry is thrilled that Bud Light is getting backlash for having a transgender spokesperson.\n\n"If Dr. Pepper turns out, this whole time, was a woman... I'll quit drinkin' it."\u201d— Hemant Mehta (@Hemant Mehta) 1681844940
People everywhere were… confused.
\u201c@hemantmehta Why would Dr. Pepper being a women make him hate the drink?\u201d— Hemant Mehta (@Hemant Mehta) 1681844940
\u201c@hemantmehta I'm totally onboard with the right leaving all the Dr. Pepper for me.\u201d— Hemant Mehta (@Hemant Mehta) 1681844940
\u201c@hemantmehta\u201d— Hemant Mehta (@Hemant Mehta) 1681844940
\u201c@hemantmehta How is he a Christian????\u201d— Hemant Mehta (@Hemant Mehta) 1681844940
\u201c@hemantmehta He's drinking alright, but it's not Dr. Pepper.\u201d— Hemant Mehta (@Hemant Mehta) 1681844940
\u201c@hemantmehta Because we all know doctors can\u2019t be women\u2026.\u201d— Hemant Mehta (@Hemant Mehta) 1681844940
\u201c@hemantmehta Please put \u201cChristian\u201d in quote marks when you talk about these people.\u201d— Hemant Mehta (@Hemant Mehta) 1681844940
\u201c@hemantmehta Preacher dude is only ok with drinking another dude! Brings blood of Christ to a whole new level.\u201d— Hemant Mehta (@Hemant Mehta) 1681844940
\u201c@hemantmehta TLDR: If it doesn't come from a man, I'm not gonna drink it.\u201d— Hemant Mehta (@Hemant Mehta) 1681844940
But Pastor McCurtry had the perfect wrap up for his latest rant.
“We must be Godly if we’re going to be a good minister of Christ.”
Nothing like tops off a bunch of hate speech as well as that.
