'The View' Host Says Jesus Would Attend A Pride Parade, Homophobes Burst Into Flames

Sunny Hostin of 'The View'

During Monday’s episode of The View, the gabfest was discussing the beginning of Pride Month when a recent tweet by Catholic Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island, came up.

Bishop Tobin had taken it upon himself to remind Catholics not to attend Pride events this month because "they promote a culture and encourage activities that are contrary to Catholic faith and morals."

Tobin added that Pride events “are especially harmful for children.”

A reminder that Catholics should not support or attend LGBTQ “Pride Month” events held in June. They promote a culture and encourage activities that are contrary to Catholic faith and morals. They are especially harmful for children.

The irony here is that this is the same bishop who acknowledged in 2018 that he “became aware of incidents of sexual abuse” in his diocese in the mid-1990s, but said reporting the allegations were not part of his “responsibilities," and so, he remained silent.

And complicit...

Back to The View, one of the show’s co-hosts, Sunny Hostin, shared that she is a practicing Catholic and she wouldbe attending a Pride event with her children because that’s “what Jesus would do.”

“I tweeted out that my Catholic children will be attending Pride events as this Catholic will,” she shared with her co-hosts. “And you know, my faith always taught me, ‘What would Jesus do?’ And I know Jesus would be attending that Pride parade, with pride.”

This practicing Catholic will be supporting and attending LGBTQ Pride events. And so will my Catholic children. You should be ashamed @ThomasJTobin1 🏳️‍🌈 https://t.co/tqsyp137Fg https://t.co/RgGeoufXxR

And the crowd goes wild!

But wait - there’s more!

“And I also know that God is love, Jesus is love, love is love,” she added. “For a Catholic bishop to come out and say something like that given the history of pedophilia in the Catholic church, given what the Catholic church has hidden about the abuse of children, some would say that being at a Pride parade would be much safer for a child than it has been to be in a Catholic church for many years.”

Boom!

Cue Whoopi Goldberg dinging her bell six times.

Now, we love Ms. Hostin for the awesome support - and the epic breakdown of obvious hypocrisy by the church - but, the story doesn’t end there.

Homophobic inhabitants of the Twitterverse started losing their minds attacking Hostin, and it got ugly quick.

@TheView Sunny Hostin's mind is poisoned by the virus of liberalism that is anti-family, anti-decency, anti-principles, anti-everything that is normal. To suggest that kids are safer in a LGBT event than in a church is the final insult from this low-class show. Go to hell all!

@kramerreport @Charliekirk11 @sunny @TheView "Sunny Hostin On ‘The View’: Jesus Would Be Attending A Gay Pride Parade". The real question is would gays be attending if Jesus did? Would they expose themselves or be ashamed? Jesus hasn't forgotten gays, THEY have forgotten Him.

Sunny Hostin from “The View” says Jesus would attend a gay pride parade.

And I think she’s right.

But he wouldn’t be there out of support, he would be there to preach repentance to the sinners.

WTF does Sunny Hostin know what Jesus would do? She is another dumbazz with a law degree who is just paid to follow DNC commands like a trained poodle.

Parody: 'GOP Jesus' Explains It All For You

Over the past few years, folks have wondered how evangelical Christian Republicans can go along with the stunning hypocrisy that is Donald Trump.

Obviously, the answer has been that as long as conservatives get what they want out of a Trump presidency (Supreme Court justices, anti-LGBT legislation, etc...), they're ok holding their noses and sticking with their guy.

Now, the folks at Friend Dog Studios have come up with a 'GOP Jesus' that aligns more closely with their beliefs.

Check out the video below where 'GOP Jesus' addresses many of the conflicting messages coming out of some Christians including adultery, immigration, health care, the War on Christmas, family separations, the golden rule, and gay people.

Here's what the hypocritical really mean:

“Love your neighbor as yourself - unless you are better than your neighbor, then tell them that they’re weird, and you don’t want to bake them a cake.”

"What has a man profited if he gained the whole world but loses his soul? A lot! He's profited a lot. One soul for the whole world? That is an amazing deal!"

"If a man strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him and shoot him. That is the law."

Watch below.

Former President Carter: Jesus Would Approve Of Gay Marriage

In a recent interview with HuffPost Live, former President Jimmy Carter shared he believes that Jesus would approve of same-sex marriage.

Promoting his book Faith: A Journey For All, Carter was asked by journalist Marc Lamont how his religious background aligns with the concept of marriage equality.

“That’s no problem with me,” he said. “I think everyone should have a right to get married regardless of their sex.”

The only conflict Carter says he holds regarding the issue would be if a church were forced to perform same-sex marriages which conflicted with that church’s teachings. This, of course, has never happened.

“But those two partners should be able to go to the local courthouse, or to a different church, and get married,” he added.

The 39th president did say abortion was a moral “problem” for him.

“I have a hard time believing that Jesus, for instance, would approve of abortions unless it was because of rape or incest or if the mother’s life was in danger.”

Carter admitted that while he has long held a conflict on the issue he ‘went along with that” because his “oath of office was to obey the Constitution and the laws of this country, as interpreted by the Supreme Court.”

Lamont pivoted back to the topic of marriage asking point-blank, “Would Jesus have approved of gay marriage?”

The 93-year-old didn’t hesitate in answering. “I believe he would,” Carter said. “I believe Jesus would. I don’t have any verse and scripture.”

“Jesus would encourage any love affair if it was honest and sincere, and was not damaging to anyone else,” he added. “And I don’t see that gay marriage damages anyone else.”

A longtime ally, Carter campaigned on the idea that “homosexuals should not be singled out for discrimination.”

After winning election, in 1977 Carter became the first sitting president to invite LGBTQ advocates to the White House.

He also shared in 2010 that he feels the United States is ready for an openly gay president.

Elton John believes Jesus Christ would support same-sex marriage

Elton John says that he believes Jesus Christ would support same-sex marriage if he were around today:

"The church hierarchy, the traditionalists, might be up in arms about it but times have changed. If Jesus Christ was alive today, I cannot see him, as the Christian person that he was and the great person that he was, saying this [gay marriage] could not happen.

"He was all about love and compassion and forgiveness and trying to bring people together, and that is what the church should be about."

In the same interview, John says that he hopes to speak to Russian leader Vladimir Putin about the LGBT community this fall when he travels there.

I'm sure that will fix everything...

Since Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty likes to quote the Bible...

I figure anti-gay but wealthy Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame must stay up late at night pondering this quote from Jesus in the Bible:

"And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter in to the kingdom of God." - Matthew 19:24

Things that make you go "hmm..."

Family Research Council exec: We've feminized Jesus but he was a "man's man"

This just strikes me as an odd kind of thing for a conservative, anti-gay leader to be talking about.  (And by the way, for a man who seems concerned about masculine and feminine - curious choice of shirt to wear...)

Family Research Council Executive Vice President Jerry Boykin speaking at a Men's Prayer Breakfast at William Jessup University explaining that Jesus was not the weak, effeminate, "feminized" figure taught in church today but was really a ripped, tough, strong "man's man" who smelled bad.

According to Boykin, Jesus was a carpenter and stone mason for most of his life, which required him to be constantly lifting heavy pieces of wood and stone. All this lifting, in turn, meant that Jesus had calluses on his hands and "big, bulging biceps, big ole veins popping out of his arms, thin waist, [and] strong shoulders."

"He was a man," Boykin said. "He was a man's man, but we feminized him in the church ... He was a tough guy and that's the Jesus that I want to be like. That's the side that I want to be like. But we've feminized Jesus in the church and the men can't identify with him anymore; not the kind of men that I want to hang out with, they can't identify with this effeminate Jesus that we've tried to portray. He was a tough guy. He was a man's man":
