In the hyper-masculine right-wing internet community known as the “manosphere,” few figures loom larger than Jesse Lee Peterson. The Los Angeles-based pastor and online radio host has become a star in conservative media in part for his demands that men and women return to his unorthodox version of traditional gender norms.

Conservative pundit Jesse Lee Peterson is one of the right’s most prominent anti-gay voices, rising to the top of the macho “Manosphere.” But now multiple male friends of Peterson say they had sexual relationships with him, including a decade long affair. https://t.co/IAHgFKbzaY
