"A church leader in Indianapolis is doubling down on a sermon delivered at the Sure Foundation Baptist Church in the state's capital city last week that called on gay people to "blow yourself in the back of the head," among other incendiary statements. Church leader Justin Zhong endorsed the remarks delivered by lay pastor Stephen Falco during a Men's Preaching Night service on June 29, including his assertion that, "There's nothing good to be proud about being a f*g. You ought to blow yourself in the head in the back of the head. You're so disgusting.""
""Why do I hate sodomites, why do I hate f*gs? Because they attack children, they're coming after your children, they are attacking them in schools today, and not only schools in public places, and they're proud about it!" Falco said during the Pride month sermon titled "Pray the gay away." The church posted the sermon to YouTube, and it was widely denounced by members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies who called the hate-filled screed "theologically irresponsible" and "pastorally dangerous." YouTube has since removed the video for violating its terms of service."
A church leader in Indianapolis endorsed a sermon at Sure Foundation Baptist Church that used violent anti-LGBTQ+ language and urged gay people to commit suicide. Lay pastor Stephen Falco told congregants, using slurs, that gay people should "blow yourself in the head" and called them "disgusting." Falco accused LGBTQ+ people of "attacking children" and said they were "proud about it." The church posted the sermon to YouTube, prompting widespread condemnation from LGBTQ+ community members and allies who labeled the remarks hateful and dangerous. YouTube removed the video for violating its terms of service; a portion was reposted by a local radio station.
