In a bizarre rant, Pastor Tommy McMurtry of Liberty Baptist Church in Rock Falls, Illinois, claimed that he would stop drinking Dr. Pepper if the soda brand's doctorate belonged to a woman instead of a man, as he always believed.

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:

People everywhere were… confused.









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.

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
