J-LLo Goes To ATLAH Church For Stoning

March 20, 2014

Run by Dr. James David Manning, a man who has been outspokenly critical of the Obama administration and the progression of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights over the course of the past six years, the church made headlines in late February when religious leaders posted a polarizing sign that read “Obama has released the homo demons on the black man. Look out black woman. A white homo may take your man.”

In response, Lopez knocked on the church’s front door this week and informed the man who answered that she was there for her stoning. “I saw your sign and I’m here for my stoning, I’m a lesbian,” Lopez informs the man in the video below, which Lopez posted on her Facebook.

The man, who seems a bit unsure as to what he should say, ultimately tells Lopez that he doesn’t have any stones but she should come back the next day.

Lopez noted in the comments section of the video that her actions were inspired by Pamela Raintree, a transgender woman who dared a lawmaker to stone her last January. Raintree decided to confront Councilman Ron Webb after he remained the single dissenting vote against the LGBT non-discrimination ordinance that passed in Shreveport, Louisiana, last December and then masterminded a repeal of the ordinance. After Raintree’s incredible speech, Webb rescinded his repeal (source).
