P!nk is allowing her point of views pertaining to Evangelical Christians’ reaction– or instead, the absence thereof– to the current capturing at Colorado’s gay Club Q be recognized. On Sunday (Nov 27), the “Never Gonna Not Dance Again” vocalist reshared a TikTok video clip that her buddy Leslie Jones published toTwitter In the clip, Pastor Bob Lerien of the Redeemer Lutheran Church (in Lancaster, Penn.) condemned individuals of the towel that have actually been quiet on the misfortune.
“It’s time to be very clear about something. All of you Evangelical and fundamentalist clergy who claim to be pastors and shepherds of God’s flock who step into your pulpits and preach hate and bigotry and transphobia and homophobia, you are blasphemers and you are false prophets,” Lerien began. “If you are proclaiming anything but the acceptance and love of God’s beautiful and beloved LGBTQIA+ children, you are blaspheming against the image of God in which they were created, and you will be judged for the blood on your hands because you are enabling the hate the kills God’s beautiful children.”
The priest proceeded, “For all you Evangelical and fundamentalist lay people who fill the pews and offering plates in those churches, you have blood on your hands because your offerings are financing the hate. Your offerings are paying to stoke the fires that lead to people commuting these despicable acts of violence against the innocent. And for all my fellow mainline protestant progressive Christian clergy and especially bishops and other judicatory executives who are not speaking out – how dare you. If you are not condemning homophobia and transphobia explicitly from your pulpit, then you are enabling it implicitly in the streets. If you are not condemning it, you are complicit in it. Your silence is violence and the time for neutrality is long over, so suit up and speak up or sit down and shut up.”
In reaction to the video clip, P!nk created a basic “Thank you” to the priest for obtaining his factor throughout. The vocalist’s tweet makes her among numerous stars that have actually spoken out regarding the Colorado Springs gay club capturing in which 5 individuals were eliminated and also at the very least 18 wounded; artists that have expressed their anger and condolences consist of Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris, Hayley Kiyoko and also a lot more.
