Evangelical Sues Over “Anti-LGBTQ Extremist” Label

June 10, 2024 Christianists, Trump cultists

Religion News Service reports:

Worship leader and conservative activist Sean Feucht has filed a lawsuit against the city of Spokane, Washington, claiming the city council violated his religious freedom when it passed a resolution last year condemning an event he headlined and referring to him as an “anti-LGBTQ extremist.” The lawsuit is the latest chapter in a controversy over an incident that occurred last August, when then-Spokane Mayor Nadine Woodward drew backlash for attending an event in the city organized by Feucht.

At one gathering in Portland, Oregon, Feucht’s security included at least one member of the extremist group Proud Boys and a person charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. “If you mess with them or our 1st amendment right to worship God – you’ll meet Jesus one way or another,” Feucht once tweeted alongside a picture of his security team. Feucht has also been an outspoken critic of LGBTQ+ rights campaigns, using the term “groomers” to refer to their supporters.

As the piece notes, Feucht in 2022 held an event featuring notorious former Washington state rep turned pastor, Matt Shea, who once issued a document calling for murdering non-Christian males.

Last year Feucht threatened to sue anybody who claimed he was having an affair with Rep. Lauren Boebert.

Feucht has appeared here many times for anti-LGBTQ events outside Disney World and in West Hollywood and for his large worship events held in defiance of COVID mitigation rules.

One such prayer rally held in October 2020 drew 35,000 to Washington DC’s Mall. Feucht last appeared here when a Christian site claimed that Satan had stolen his guitar.
