The logic fail here is staggering...absolutely staggering. I hope he plans to round up all the straight people too...the ones who keep giving birth to teh gheys.

The North Carolina pastor who called for gays and lesbians to be put in an electrified pen and ultimately killed off is facing a backlash.

After video footage of Pastor Charles L. Worley's homophobic May 13 sermon went viral, the official website for Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, N.C. had been yanked from the web. As The New Civil Rights Movement reports, site reader Rob Roberts was just one of several people to contact StoneWall Consulting Partners, the company who created the site for Worley, after the pastor's speech hit the blogosphere.

"I asked them if they support genocide against gays and then told them I was ashamed of them," Roberts is quoted by the site as saying.

The New Civil Rights Movement's David Badash also noted, "Like all churches, Pastor Worley’s Providence Road Baptist Church doesn’t pay taxes. And by advocating for a specific political candidate he could (and should) lose his tax-exempt status."

In what can be interpreted as a dig at President Obama, Worley said in the sermon that if he's asked who he'll vote for, he'd reply, "I'm not going to vote for a baby killer and a homosexual lover!"

Badash said several readers have, in fact, responded to his plea by subsequently contacting the IRS.

HuffPost Gay Voices reader Kaeylyn Hunt notes that a group will be protesting the Providence Road Baptist Church on Sunday, May 27 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. "Regardless if you are gay or straight, Christian or not... this rhetoric is dangerous and harmful," members of "Catawba Valley Citizens Against Hate" group, who note that the rally will be peaceful, write on Facebook. "Taking a peaceful stand for our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is paramount."




Full details of that protest can be found here.

Worley continued what seems to be a barrage of anti-gay sermons delivered by North Carolina-based pastors to hit the blogosphere in the wake of Amendment One yesterday with his disturbing tirade. "Build a great, big, large fence -- 150 or 100 mile long -- put all the lesbians in there," Worley suggested in the clip. "Do the same thing for the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can't get out...and you know what, in a few years, they'll die out...do you know why? They can't reproduce!"

Yes. They all do. Hence the problem.

What an absolute piece of trash. I really hope he faces serious, serious backlash and repercussion from this.

Hitler was the first thing that popped into my mind reading this... I'm not just throwing the term "nazi" around lightly

This man is truly a monument of stupidity.

He can hate all the gays and think they're all wrong and tell people about it all he wants. That's cool. To each his own when it comes to opinions, even religious sermons. If you don't like it, don't adopt his opinions and don't go to his church. It's that easy to deal with opinions and moral judgements. It is NOT cool to take actions to advocate genocide on the group he hates. It can't be legal.

He's not just blogging his own crazy ideas as some unknown individual. He's the leader of a church. He has "followers". He's got to be held responsible for advocating, encouraging and even planning out how to do violence on the hated group with his "followers". He has the intent. He has proceeded with planning and informing his posse of his intent. He may have enough materials and people to carry out his intent. When challenged, he has not rescinded those statements or at least offered a token, "I wasn't really serious that we should do this." When will it be a crime???... after he has actually done it? Is it not a crime to intend, plan and recruit help to commit a hate crime? This isn't terrorism? .....Maybe it's not.

I can think he is a raving lunatic and so wrong and even wish or hope he dies in his sleep tonight. But it's not cool of me to intend to do violence to him and lead a group of people in planning how to capture him and watch him die in a sparky fence prison. Is that not plotting murder? It's not cool even if a lot of people would applaud. It's never right to meet ideas with actions. That's his problem. We need to meet his action with action, legal action.

Can some police or lawyer out there please confirm for us if he's committing a crime by planning to hurt a group of people, especially when acting in his capacity as a community leader?

I knew it was the same asshole!
