Pastor Receives Death Threats, Loses Job for Suggesting Pride Events Can Damage Kids

A Christian pastor has received a death threat after suggesting that certain “gay pride” events can be “harmful for children.”

Posting a message taken largely from a tweet by Rhode Island bishop Thomas Tobin, U.K.-based pastor Keith Waters suggested that Christians should not be supportive of events that are held in honor of LGBTQ “Pride month.”

“A reminder that Christians should not support or attend LGBTQ ‘Pride month’ events held in June,” Waters noted. “They promote a culture and encourage activities that are contrary to Christian faith and morals. They are especially harmful to children.”
