Anti-LGBT pastor Kevin Swanson is so vehemently against gay people that he is now suggesting any pastor who has a gay child should immediately resign.
Swanson made the comments on his radio show last month in response to a blog article written by Pastor John Pavlovitz, who said if he finds out his children are gay he “will pray for God to protect them from the ignorance and hatred and violence that the world will throw at them, simply because of who they are.”
The anti-gay pastor, who previously said he’d cover himself in cow manure if his son turned out to be gay, insisted that Pavlovitz needs to recognize something is “terribly wrong” with him and his family, according to Right Wing Watch.
Swanson expressed shock at the notion that a pastor or any other man “who thinks there is a possibility his kids could come out gay [would not] then not turn to himself and see there to be something of a problem with himself.”
“As a pastor, if your children turn out to be sinners,” he added, “if it turns out they abandoned the faith while they are in the household, accused of riot and unruly debauchery, et cetera, within the household, you need to resign as a pastor.”
Swanson is known for his rabidly anti-LGBT beliefs, having previously stated that in his perfect world, all homosexuals would be put to death.
