REPORT: Anti-Gay Christian YouTube Star Sam Rader Booted From Conference After Threatening Violence

According to Gawker, Ashley Madison-using anti-gay Christian YouTube star Sam Rader was kicked out of a vlogging conference yesterday after threatening violence against other attendees. From their report:

The viral Christian vlogger Sam Rader was ejected from the Vlogger Fair conference in Seattle yesterday for “threatening violence” against one or more people. This incident allegedly occurred just one day after Sam admitted to using a paid account on the cheating website Ashley Madison. In our phone conversation, Sam admitted he was kicked out of the conference. At first, he said he did not threaten anyone, but later admitted to making a threat against one person, whom he would not identify. He explained, “It was one person, and I didn’t make a threat. What happened was there was a couple of fellow vloggers who had ridiculed our family on Twitter regarding the method we were mourning the loss, our miscarriage on Twitter.” (Sam is most famous for “surprising” his wife Nia with her own positive pregnancy test in a viral video. Three days after that video was posted, Nia tearfully announced she miscarried.) When reached for comment, Vlogger Fair program director Liz Bradshaw stated that Sam and Nia left the conference early “for personal reasons,” but later added that “VloggerFair prides itself on being an event where our guests and community feel welcome and safe.”

Rader first came to our attention for a viral clip in which he tried to convince his five year-old daughter that gay marriage is evil.
