IRISH ANTI-GAY STREET PREACHER SILENCED

-

Irish Flat Earther, coronaviru­s denier and street preacher, Stephen Tallon, 37, has been delivering open-air “sermons” in his hometown of Wexford, spouting anti-gay rants via a megaphone and telling LGBT+ citizens they are “going to hell” as sinners, reading damning verses from the Old Testament and insisting that homosexual­ity is “unnatural” in the eyes of God.

Local residents, however, decided they were fed up with his “homophobic nonsense” and complained to the authoritie­s, saying that not only was he driving business away from their town, but also spreading hate. At a court hearing, a judge ordered Tallon to stop preaching hate in public, prohibitin­g him from speaking in the town.
