Preacher goes on homophobic rant in front of an Alabama city council

theGRIO REPORT - Street preacher and evangelist Cedric Hatcher appeared at the Birmingham City Council to air his grievances with a federal judge's decision to overturn Alabama's same-sex marriage ban...

Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Callie Granade ordered a judge in Mobile County to ignore Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore’s ruling disallowing marriage licenses for same-sex couples.

Street preacher and evangelist Cedric Hatcher agrees according to Al.com.  Hatcher appeared at the Birmingham City Council to air his grievances with the move, and in the video of the incident, at least one city council member can be heard laughing at his outrageous remarks.

“In two more years — in 2016, February the 9th — you won’t be able to marry your partner that you played football with no more,” Hatcher said. “You’re gonna be able to marry your dog, you’re gonna be able to marry your cat, you’re gonna be able to marry your snake, you’re gonna be able to marry your rat, the roaches. Some of you been with the roaches so long you might as well gonna marry the roach, he been around the house so long. You’re gonna be able to marry your broom, your mop. Ain’t we going crazy in this world, ya’ll?”

Hatcher went on to describe a recent “scene” in which a gay couple engaged in a public display of affection. “It was one of the most comedic scenes I’ve ever seen in public, when I witnessed men with size 13 and 14 shoes out there kissing each other in the mouth in front of little kids,” Hatcher said. “It was like a freak scene going on, that’s what I call it.”

Hatcher claimed that the decision was one in a long line that was taking away from the rights of Christians. “I can barely say ‘Praise the Lord’ in public now,” he said. “I might go to jail, I might threaten a lawsuit on the job. You can’t tell a person to have a blessed day. Ain’t it sad?”
