The preacher says he'd rather eat his own vomit than be gay in an unhinged sermon. He then pretended to eat his own vomit in front of his congregation to show how serious he was. "Any parent that would have their child, would have a transgender surgery done on them, any parent that would do that, they just need to be shot in the back of the head," Graber said. "They need to be convicted in a trial and immediately shot in the back of the head. Okay, and then we can string them up above a bridge so that the public can see the consequences of that kind of wickedness." Do you believe that this action is what Jesus would approve of?

"And so there should be no excuse to not put these people to death, no excuse whatsoever," he added. He then said that "there are very, very few people out there in the world today that are actually fighting the spiritual fight." He told his congregation that he doubts other preachers are willing to say that "these child molesters, that these child butchers, that these fa***ts, all the LGBTQ people, people that desire strange flesh, that they should all be put to death in a public execution by the government." Do you agree with this preacher?

It's worth noting that in the TV series The Handmaid's Tale, the bodies of LGBTQ+ people are hung in public by a dystopian Christian Nationalist government. These comments aren't surprising coming from Graber. He has referred to gay people as "AIDS dispensers," has previously called for the execution of gay people, and said that teachers want to turn kids transgender to teach them to hate God. In April 2022, he called for LGBTQ+ accepting teachers to be shot in the head or beheaded on live TV because, he claimed, they're "grooming" kids for sexual abuse. The grooming claim has been repeated by mainstream Republican politicians as a reason to ban LGBTQ+ content from public schools. Do you agree with Graber and Republican politicians that claim that age-appropriate LGBTQ+ information should never be allowed or discussed in public schools?

He has also said that LGBTQ stands for "Let God Burn Them Quickly." New IFB isn't affiliated with any mainstream Baptist denomination, although both Baptist and New IFB teachings exhibit anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry, antisemitism, and misogyny. But while Baptists merely condemn queer people to hell, New IFB goes a step further, calling for the execution of LGBTQ+ people. Do you believe that all LGBTQ+ people should be publicly executed as Graber asserts?

Do you feel that Graber's bigoted rhetoric should be criminalized as "hate speech"?
