Detective Dickhead Wants Cops to Kill the Gays https://www.advocate.com/religion/2019/6/12/tennessee-cop-turned-pastor-urges-execution-gays

A sermon in which a minister who is also a sheriff’s detective with 20 years of service called for the execution of LGBTQ people has led to an investigation by authorities in Knox County, Tenn. Grayson Fritts gave the sermon June 2 (the first Sunday of LGBTQ Pride Month) at All Scripture Baptist Church in Knoxville, where he is pastor. Because a Bible and a badge are two great tastes that go great together.

His sermon was titled “Sodomite Reprobates” and based on the King James Version of the Bible - Leviticus 20:13, to be specific. This is one of the 9 “clobber passages” that are often trotted out to suggest that being gay is and always has been a sin. Nevermind the documented history and linguistic translations that contradict this… But it’s the same book that says gawd hates shrimp and you should be stoned for wearing a nice cotton-poly blend. I doth quote: “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”

Some quotes:

* Where’s the irony? He was ranting about Taylor Swift and then went down the rabbit hole, saying “I’m sick of sodomy getting crammed down our throats.” My first thought was “that’s not how sodomy works,” but then I remembered that many state sodomy laws include oral sex, even for heterosexuals, so Fritts and zealots like him might be “sodomites” without even realizing it.

* “The Bible says the powers that be are ordained of God, and God has instilled the power of civil government to send the police in 2019 out to these LGBT freaks and arrest them and have a trial for them, and if they are convicted, then they are to be put to death ... do you understand that? It’s a capital crime to be carried out by our government. Not Christians, unless you’re a policeman. Know what I mean? If you’re a policeman it should be your responsibility to carry these things out.”

* “Those were the laws civil government would enforce. Just like we have laws now… Murder, rape, kidnapping, adultery...they were punishable by death.”

* “Pride parades? Man, hey, call the riot teams, we got a bunch of ’em, get the paddy wagon out here, we got a bunch of ’em going to jail,
