Anti-vaxx pastor says Pride Month is a “curse” designed to “groom & sexualize” children

Evangelical megachurch pastor Mario Murillo has penned an opus on his church website dedicated to smearing LGBTQ+ people and Pride Month as a “national disgrace.”

“Why do Mothers get only one day, but the LGBTQ agenda gets an entire month?” Murillo asks. “That tells us everything about the condition of America.” He added that fathers and fallen soldiers also get one day, but LGBTQ+ people get a month because “it is a campaign to groom and sexualize our children” and “their extremes leave no doubt about this.”

Murillo claimed Pride Month is celebrated in June because it is a common month for weddings and “their target was always marriage and family.”

“They want to remove the institutions and the morality which has protected civilization for thousands of years. And they get a whole month to celebrate it.”

“This is a month about celebrating sexual behavior,” he said. “What did we expect it to produce?”

The real reason June is Pride Month is because that’s when the Stonewall uprising was in 1969.

He went on to explain that Pride Month “has placed a curse on us” and gave a vague warning that on June 1 he will “unveil the most comprehensive and widespread plan to harvest souls and move toward an awakening.”

“We are going directly to the enemy’s camp to take back what he stole from us,” he added. “We must go from reaching thousands to reaching millions.”

Murillo, a supporter of Donald Trump, rose to the national spotlight in 2021 when he called Sesame Street‘s Big Bird “demonic” for promoting vaccines.

“This is the most demonic thing I’ve seen in a long time,” Murillo said while appearing on the right-wing Victory Channel. “The indoctrination of children, giving an experimental thing to children…. See, to me, this is the worst form of bullying and peer pressure that you can possibly use in society.”

Murillo has also spoken out against trans people and pushed the right-wing conspiracy theory that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Trump by Democrats.

“There is a demonic hedge of protection around Joe Biden. That’s why he can say and do the most insane things with no backlash,” he said during a 2021 TV appearance.

He added, “Tear it down so that the nation will wake up from this spell and understand that not only were they ripped off from their votes, that they’re now going to have their children taken from them, their rights. They’re gonna have womanhood itself erased.”
