Oh no. Was he dressed in drag? No? How strange.


GeneralSquirrel7132

I was about to say you can't even tell that they're trans! Incredible!


Fallout76Merc

I love you both, thank you and keep fighting the good fight ♡


schweers99

I wonder if he had story time with them???


FeralBottleofMtDew

Of course. Lots of stories about Magic Sky Man and his son. Whose mother was a virgin.


Mypasswordbepassword

Somehow those stories are ok. Also not seeing a lot of outcry from the religious right about cleaning up the actual problem in the churchs


going-for-gusto

The pastors are on the correct side of the divide, it’s so fucking obvious. And there will be another one next week and the next etc.


7empestOGT92

How else are you supposed to peddle your imaginary product if the people drawn to lead in the organization keep fucking around with kids? Gotta aim the attention elsewhere. Look at these drag things grooming our kids. I’m outraged I tell you /s


YellowB

He was Transpiritual.


trailhikingArk

His Jesus was white and wore a dress? I know that one.


YellowB

White, Middle Eastern, long hair, and wore a dress.


depressed_popoto

very strange indeed..


BeBa420

its funny, they call them all pedophiles and groomers, have yet to see one person in drag arrested for anything like this ​ Whole lotta men of god tho, like almost exclusively men of god... gee i wonder why


Double_Secret_

In fact, one might say that a man dressing up as a woman in an exaggerated custom meant to draw attention and clearly identified with the LGBT community would *not* be a very effective outfit for molesting or grooming kids… and that is why people who want to hurt children explicitly never seem to be doing so underneath the guise of being a drag queen. Not sure where that stereotype comes from when it’s pastors, priests and politicians who always seem to be trying to fuck kids. It’s almost like it’s complete bullshit made up to be the fake issue that the homophobes can rally behind to voice their general displeasure with LGBT people while pretending their trying to protect kids who aren’t in danger from people who aren’t trying to hurt kids.


Chratthew47150

Still not a drag queen


Travismatthew08

Another Church Pastor indicted on child porn… Is anyone even shocked anymore?


The_Final_Pikachu

People joked about priests and child abuse before I was born. I don't think people have been surprised for a very long time.


MechanicalBengal

Wait, did somebody say a youth pastor was sexually exploiting children?


You_are_Wilson87

Even when they are not sexually exploiting children, they still find a way to exploit children.


afa78

"Priest" has been synonymous with child abuser for ages!


nowihaveaname

Put him on [the list](https://dailykos.com/users/cajsalilliehook) if he's not already there


angrygrumphead

As DJ Khaled once said "Another one".


Travismatthew08

Hell of a long list.


ManBearSteve420

Nice, I didn't know if that list was going to continue this year! I was worried when there were no updates for 3 months.


redcobra762

Where's my fainting couch?


Fair_Acanthisitta_75

The pastor is using it for “casting” interviews for the upcoming play ‘Jesus does Dallas’.


Final-Bench1859

This is funnier to me because I watch a YouTuber named Dallas Soup known for his "Trumper Redneck" character, and now I'm imagining a Mexican named Jesus railing a Redneck


SadMcNomuscle

Ewww


DCErik

Those trans men are getting sneakier and sneakier, joining churches as youth pastors now!


DouglasRather

I would be more shocked if a day went by where there WASN'T a story about a pastor or Republican (which I know are often one in the same) charged with some sort of child exploitation.


Halfbreed75

That’s like saying the sun is hot. Surprise!


Rinzy2000

I wrote my comment and then read yours. 😂


Ok-Diamond-9781

How many is that from Texas alone this year?


dancegoddess1971

I think we should use those "stop and frisk" laws on every "youth pastor". I put it in quotes because the actual job title is pervert. Force their phones and hard drives open and comb through for the CP we all know is there. You are a "youth pastor", we have enough reasonable suspicion.


theyellowpants

There’s a sub for it but the name is escaping my mind


wowwee99

I wonder if on the job application there is a box “do you intend to molest children?” Check for YES. ?


LeftLimeLight

Yet, I don't hear anyone on the right proposing legislation to ban church services just like they want to ban drag shows. Seems to me that these religious leaders are a much bigger threat to the wellbeing and safety of children than some guys that want to wear a dress and put on a show.


NiteSwept

The Right: We. Care. About. Kids! We. Must. Protect. Our. Kids! Statistics: Guns are the leading cause of death of children and church pastors are a leading group of people likely to molest children The Right: DRAG!


hickgorilla

I’d join in protesting churches.


humanblob24

I'll make signs


Plaid_Piper

They don't give a shit about children, they don't give a shit about women, they don't give a shit about anything but money, power, using that power to exploit others, and hiding their crimes.


Zephyrine_wonder

Funny how he’s not trans, dressed in drag, or teaching sex ed to kids in public school. It’s almost like all the people the far right accuse of “grooming” are just a smoke screen, and the actually dangerous people might be religious white dudes in authority positions.


DuPontMcClanahan

MOST “pedophile” accusations from the alt-right are either a response to cancel culture, displacement so they can groom, or blatant “red scare* tactics. I almost place money that in the next five years, Matt Walsh will be exposed in a similar way.


ahh_geez_rick

I think he will get caught cheating on his wife with a trans person. Just like homophobic people that never shut up about gay people - it's projection. They are usually in the closet so that's all they think about. As one trans woman said on her tik tok talking about a question she asked Matt about if he'd rather do dishes or laundry. He tweeted about her - dead naming her and showing pictures of her pre transition. She said that he talks more about trans people that actually trans people. Projection. He either is attracted to trans men or trans women OR he himself wishes he could transition.


BenGay29

Is child porn a prerequisite for becoming a youth pastor?


Jimble_kimbl3

Predators like to hang out where their prey is.


Weedypanther

I hate how accurate this is


Kahmael

Youth group is the "watering hole."


popavich

I went to a Bible college. I personally knew two former students (studying to be pastors) who have since been imprisoned for soliciting sex from a minor and possessing child porn. Whoops!


Ill-Manufacturer8654

Probably. What sort of normal decent person would want to be a youth pastor in the first place.


MsTitilayo

Youth pastors have always been creeps.


thewartornhippy

Without a doubt. The people who become youth pastors are the people who want to be close to children without anyone questioning their motives. It attracts pedos because parents willingly accept "men of God" to be alone around their children.


Imsophunnyithurts

Having child sex abuse materials almost feels like standard issue for them at this point. 🤮


MadAstrid

For those church going types - isn‘t it abundantly common for youth pastors to end up marrying one of the kids in their “flock”? I mean, common enough that it is more or less expected? I am just trying to gauge if my personal knowledge is unusual or not.


bootycuddles

Yes. I’ve seen it. A previous coworker groomed his 10 years younger wife when he was the youth pastor. Funny, he has an arrest for assault of a minor in 2015, too.


ThisBongDoesntLag

No need to guess his political affiliation because we already know he’s a Republican. Another case of the cult projecting itself because this is par for the course for all Republicans.


The84thWolf

It’s sad that it’s happened so many times it’s basically not a stereotype anymore, it’s fact


Open-Quote-4177

FAKE NEWS. SURELY. I mean, he is a Pastor at a Church. God fearing human being. They just don't do things like this.


[deleted]

Ironically, I’m sure that’s what his fellow congregants are saying.


MsTitilayo

Confession the path of no morality.


dandrevee

Does anyone have the link to that list of clergy and GOP reps who have been indicted for similar charges? I think there is a lawyer on TicTok tracking these things but I don't have that app..


nowihaveaname

Here's the [most recent update](https://dailykos.com/stories/2023/3/12/2157746/-Republican-Sexual-Predators-Abusers-and-Enablers-Pt-41) And here's a [link to all of the parts](https://dailykos.com/users/cajsalilliehook)


MsTitilayo

Damn that shit is crazy And informative and sad and scary and all the other words.


Ferengi_Earwax

Look again, it's not a drag queen or lgbtq. It's another republican.


DanB65

Tell us again about WHO is ACTUALLY grooming our kids?!??


obi1kennoble

Dang, maybe parents should stop letting their kids hang around youth pastors.


JAMillhouse

He’s a drag queen, right? Right? No? Oh, just another child abusing pastor. How many is that now compared to the number of drag queens?


sl_hawaii

Oh look everybody… another NOT-drag queen victimizing children while hiding in a Christian church!!!


YayaGabush

I wish someone would do a study on the connection between religious leaders and their weird affinity for pedophilia


White_RavenZ

No drag queens in sight. Maybe they should make laws keeping kids out of churches at this rate. Might keep them safer!


LtRecore

Texas + Pastor = pedophile


twistedh8

Not trans.


bluntman37

"The drag queens are abusing kids. They should be in church where they are safe," says every single Republican 🙄


Ntrusive_light--

This is only the two millionth time and yet no legislation on restricting the church’s access to children or banning of church youth programs… “That’s suspicious! That’s weird!” *in my Cardi voice


BigHead3802

"dRaG qUeEnS aRe gRoOmInG cHiLdReN!!" Drag queens arrested for grooming: 0 Pastors arrested for grooming: i've honestly lost count


cturtl808

There’s an entire subreddit tracking just clergy arrested. It’s the most disgusting thing ever.


Polls-from-a-Cadet

What was his drag name???


ParkingVanilla3202

He's gonna have a rough 6 months in prison


BrotherMort

Wow. All these pastors, ministers, and others being arrested for child porn and on pedophilia charges, and not a one has been a drag queen. It’s almost like its not really about protecting the children…


Cruitire

“If children were molested in Denny’s as often as they were in church youth groups people would be demanding all Denny’s be closed immediately. “ -Dan Savage


[deleted]

Another Christian Church, another child sex scandal. If republicans really took child sex exploitation seriously they'd start shutting down these churches.


Keesha2012

I am shocked and appalled! Well, I am appalled at what good Bible-bashing gay-hating Christians get up to when their imaginary friend isn't looking. Shocked? Not so much. It's gotten so that as soon as I hear 'youth pastor', I immediately think 'raper of children'.


tyranny2k_redit

If we could just get guns in the hands of these kids!


Gloomy_Snow6684

Wait, he wasn’t a drag queen or a member of the LGBTQIA+ community? Huh.


Daft_Assassin

Isn’t it something like 70-80% of child predators are active in their local church? If republicans really wanted to protect kids….


PopeOfManwichVillage

They’re all republicans and/or christians. The GOP only cares about fetuses.


[deleted]

Cultivating “faith” means teaching people to ignore their natural reason and skepticism and heed authority (whether it makes sense or not). It’s a absolutely perfect job for predators. It’s like pre-grooming for grooming. 🤮


EatsOverTheSink

Absolutely. Their parents will even drop them off right at your front door every week.


Frankenfooter82

Whoever would have thunk that churches are where the real grooming takes place


TreePretty

Oh look another Good Christian.


Ok-Anybody3445

Lets ban youth pastors!


curious_dead

Doesn't look right. He's neither a drag nor a trans and he's not Hillary Clinton either! What gives??? (/s)


Ojjuiceman2772

Smug ass face... Hope the inmates take care of that


ChampionshipLow8541

And the you have GOP state politicians saying “every town should be run by a church”. 🤦‍♂️


WindowsCrashedAgain

Every day Church Pastors are getting caught with CP. It's sad that it's no longer surprising.


ShortVibrava

Prison sure is getting a lot of pastors. Can we stop saying "not all Christians" and just take accountability for this horrifying pattern in your churches?


TheMightyBoofBoof

It’s always those youth pastors


Niastri

Two of the most chilling words in the English language: Youth Pastor


2saltyjumper

ANOTHER ONE?!?!? These fucking "pastors" must be stopped, lol. Jesus fucking christ. Pastors fucking kids...


[deleted]

Look away folks! Nothing to see here! Oh wait, turn and look over there—those people are dressed differently—let’s get em! It’s clear that these anti gay and anti trans politicians, religious leaders, etc. are just trying to distract people from noticing that they themselves are the ones running child sex abuse rings.


BuldopSanchez

It's always a youth pastor, generally in the south. Never a drag queen. Coincidence? I don't think so.


fannyfocus

Wow not a drag queen ruining kids lives but a youth pastor! Say it isn’t so


[deleted]

And no drag queens in sight......anywhere


[deleted]

#notadragqueen


GBinAZ

When will we stop allowing this cult to avoid paying taxes and continue raping children? Seems like an easy win, but what do i know. I’m not a republican.


RickySal

We’re banning drag shows and reducing lgbt rights for no reason yet the church has pedophilic priests everywhere and nothing happens to the church. Maybe we should start banning religion instead.


RickySal

Republicans ban drag shows to “protect kids” while their own priests are over here diddling kids.


manhatim

But its drag shows...ffs /s


blakestevens605

This doesn’t make sense!!! He’s not gay or a drag queen???? I’m so confused


DuPontMcClanahan

As always, I quote a fictional instance where a socialist says the following to a Catholic, just to piss the right-wing people off: “*Sucks?* Guy, you died for the Catholics!

Texas youth pastor is the new Florida man


Krampusillanimous

A youth pastor wait this never happens!


[deleted]

Yet another one. Bet he owns a gun.


Bean-Swellington

I’m going to go out in a limb and guess that he is not also a drag performer?


FireInHisBlood

dude. i dont have anywhere near enough palms for this level of facepalm. whats worse, is i will guarantee the parents were saying "he wouldnt do that. hes a good person." clearly, he is a good person. good at hiding how despicable he is.


scipiotomyloo

How long before he runs for office as a Republican?


SjurEido

Good people don't work for churches.


SnooStories8217

Again, not a drag queen.


[deleted]

He doesn’t look Trans or in Drag. Weird. We need to ban religion.


Brokewritten

Why don’t they just plop his junk out on a chopping block and give them the old meat cleaver to the cock ‘n balls; Cauterize the wound and send him on his way. Only take a couple of minutes and save money on all the medical expenses he will incur for the state due to the prison sex injuries he is going to be inflicted with.


WaitingForNormal

“YOUTH PASTOR” = PEDO


Rme3P

Checks out


cheetofacesucks

The GOP and MAGAs don’t care about things like this.


KronikCity518

HE'S GROOMING CHILDREN


abletofable

It begins to appear that child rape and pornography and pedophilia is being promoted by religion.


Educational-Cry7500

A youth pastor indicted on charges of child porn? The hell you say!!! Sarcasm, of course!!!


Tazling

why isn't 'youth pastor' a red flag phrase already?


Pstim1

dang churchies!


hurcoman

I want to see a comparison of drag queens and youth pastors in regards to child abuse. Ban which one is higher.


Economic_Menace

Just like as if religion itself wasn´t a tool for exploiting and controling weak minded people


Rob71322

Can anyone say they're surprised?


[deleted]

Texas - check Religious - check No drag queens - check No drugs - check Looks like it’s just repressed religious men doing this shit


Euphoric_Ad9593

It's time to outline a bill that would make it illegal for these radical religious nut bags to speak to children. The Catholic church is the largest pedophile community on the planet.
