Theresa May 'worships' with pastor who campaigned against gay equality

Quote:

Theresa May has been criticised for "worshipping" with a clergyman who has a history of anti-LGBT campaigning.

The Prime Minister met with members of the Jesus House Church, which she described as “one of the most lively growing churches in the UK” over the weekend.

Her official Twitter account showed her meeting members of the congregation. Ms May also met with Pastor Agu Irukwu, who campaigned against the Equality Act and the legalisation of gay marriage.

She participated in a Q&A session with Mr Irukwu, who became a senior pastor in 1994, and Jesus House said she took part in worship.

LGBT activists expressed shock at the Prime Minister’s visit, made just ten days before the general election.

"Theresa May's decision to visit pastor Agu Irukwu and Jesus House is an insult to the whole LGBT community but especially to black LBGT people," said veteran LGBT rights campaigner Peter Tatchell.

"The pastor has a long history opposing LGBT equality, including opposition to same-sex civil marriage and to laws protecting LGBT people against discrimination.

"His church has been involved in exorcisms of gay people in the belief that they are possessed by demons. It's parent church in Nigeria backed the draconian anti-laws passed in 2014, which are some of the harshest in the world. Jesus House preaches against the human rights of LGBT people in the UK and Africa.

"These teachings fuel prejudice. They contribute to self-hatred and mental ill-health in black African LGBT communities."

He added: “The Prime Minister is wrong to fete and appease homophobic Christian extremists."

Dr Christian Jessen, a television presenter, said: “Oh dear. Jesus House is a bastion of ugly homophobia, run by Agu Irukeu who strongly opposes homosexual equality.

“Bad move by the Tories.”

Jesus House, which was founded in Nigeria and in the UK mainly caters to a black British congregation in Brent, west London, has defended itself from what it claimed were “misinformed comments”.

Tragic!

Not this religious slander from Corbynites

This is relevant to this election
Not stuff that happened 20 odd years ago that Corbyn done that Tories KEEP bringing up

Ohhh. What ever next. Tea with bobby sands?

She can't help it if he has those views. Dianne Abbott hates white people soo...

She's always(?) voted against gay rights though. You can see why people are upset about this given her stance on lgbt issues.

Good thinking, you haven't used the homophobic card yet.

Who's move is it next?

You can tell she's not a gay supporter. Her fashion sense is barbaric.

There is no statute of limitations on murder because it is a heinous crime - you can't excuse association with mass murderers because it was twenty years' ago.

Putting it mildly that is weak. :nono:

Hopefully more like a new job.

Doesn't surprise me, she has been all over the place as to gay issues.
I myself have always felt she has reservations and hides homophobic thinking.

This visit to such a dubious church like this one,only fuels my dislike and strong distrust in this liar and deceptive woman.
