A pastor who previously made inflammatory remarks about gay people and paedophilia is now calling for a “queer-free” Cape Town, according to reports. The outlet describes the pastor as having suggested gay people belonged in cages and claiming that “99% of paedophiles” were homosexual.
The reports frame the latest push as part of the pastor’s broader public stance against LGBT people and present it as a new demand for a city free of queer people. In the account cited, the pastor’s messaging is also described as having led to restrictions or being “gagged.” Other outlets may focus on different aspects of the controversy—such as the legality of the remarks, the impact on public debate, or responses from LGBT advocates—but the common thread is the pastor’s anti-LGBT rhetoric and the call for a “queer-free” Cape Town.
