A pastor who claims Starbucks put ‘Sodomite semen’ in their coffees is not happy that an LGBT charity trying to buy his church building.
A court recently ordered that Harlem’s infamous ATLAH World Missionary Church – which has signs advocating the death penalty for gay people – be put up for auction over unpaid debts.
In one of the greatest tactical moves ever, New York LGBT homeless charity the Ali Forney Center has raised more than $130,000 online in a bid to buy the church and turn it into an LGBT centre.
However, the church’s homophobic pastor James David Manning, who famously believes that Starbucks flavours lattes with the “semen of Sodomites”, is NOT happy about the move.
In a video posted to the church’s YouTube channel, he ranted about the “fags” trying to take over,
He said: “All kind of stuff been spread around – they’re going to turn this church into a bathhouse, they’re going to turn this church into a homeless building for the sodomites.
“The sodomites are sick as hell! This is the lord’s house! This ain’t no damn bathhouse! It ain’t no fag house!
“And before you can ever own this property, hook or crook, men who are fags with testicles will be carrying babies in their testicles and giving birth to them through their anus.
He added: “That’s how impossible it is for you to get this house. When you start carrying a baby in your bags and birthing that baby through your ass… then you can own this house!
“But until I see you pull a baby out your ass, you ain’t gonna pull this church out from underneath us.
“Boom shaka-laka goes right there! And all you fags can go to hell!”
Ali Forney Center founder Carl Siciliano spoke to JoeMyGod about the pastor’s reaction.
He said: “I imagine we are going to hear a lot of ranting and raving from Reverend Manning until the auction. And he has good cause to be ranting.
“The Ali Forney Center has been overwhelmed with support since we announced our bid to site a housing program for LGBT youth, thus far raising $130K, well over $30K a day, in our quest to win his foreclosed building at auction.
“I have no interest in birthing babies, only in providing safety for New York City’s homeless LGBT youth.”
