LGBTQ+ People 'Deserve Death' Says Arkansas Preacher
At an Arkansas school board meeting Tuesday, where members passed several anti-LGBTQ+ policies, a man was caught on camera saying LGBTQ+ people “deserve death.”Hundreds of residents expressed their opinion before a vote on anti-LGBTQ+ policies, which drew a solid but mixed response.During the Conway school board meeting, Cal Paulson, a local preacher, urged support for the policies, explaining that God loves everyone, but disapproves of the practices and moral standards of LGBTQ+ people, the Log Cabin Democrat, a local newspaper, reports.A clip of Paulson’s comments has gone viral on TikTok, having racked up thousands of views.“I would like to say that the LGBT community has suppressed the truth about God.
They seek to bring their judgment against everyone who does not agree with their gender values. They do this in order to get you to support their self-centered lifestyles,” Paulson said. “They invent ways of doing evil.
But let me remind you that those that do such things deserve death. The LGBTQ community not only continues to do these very things but also approves of those who practice them.”Republican state Sen.
Jason Rapert expressed support for the policies during the public comments portion of the meeting.“Just because people get loud and demand we support their opinion does not change the truth or the facts.
