The bishop who delivered the Good Friday Easter blessing at the White House has in the past come under fire for anti-LGBTQ comments. Bishop Harry Jackson conducted the Easter blessing at the White House on Friday and was introduced by President Trump as a highly respected gentleman.
But Jackson has been in the national spotlight for anti-LGBTQ rhetoric throughout the past decade. In 2011, he spoke with the Sons of Liberty Radio and called the push for marriage equality a Satanic plot.
I especially believe that what were dealing with is a Satanic plot to destroy our seed, he said at the time. And we have a minority group in a sense that has decided they are going to impose their will on the culture."
In 2012, the bishop spoke with Nothing But Truth, the American Family Associations radio program, and said gays and lesbians impose their will on the culture because they cannot reproduce [and] may try to recruit.

I will take the next year of some priest's time with my full confession. There is nothing funnier on God's earth than some tin-horn fundamentalist freak show trying to pass himself off under the title of Bishop.
