Sen. Raphael Warnock Tells L.A. Synagogue: The Black Church Is ‘Homophobic,’ and Transphobia Is ‘Violence Against Divinity’
Breitbart ^ | 06/29/2026 | Simon Kent

Posted on 06/30/2026 3:53:03 AM PDT by DFG

Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) addressed the IKAR synagogue in Los Angeles and used the opportunity to deliver a host of observations excoriating those who, in his opinion, exercise homophobia and transphobia.

Warnock, a Baptist pastor, joined Rabbi Sharon Brous in a public exchange after his initial sermon, but not before he espoused his condemnation for those that oppose his views, saying “transphobia” is “violence not only against humanity but against divinity. It is an offense to the glory of God.”

Warnock later confessed he had to chasten some of those within his own church and community for their views because, “that church is as homophobic as anybody.”

You can find a full coverage and transcript of his talk here.

As Breitbart News previously reported, Warnock is a self-described “pro-LGBTQ+ pastor,” and one of the Democrats’ loudest voices when it comes to promoting the transgender agenda.

Warnock practices sucking up in front of a mirror 24/7.

Warnock besmirches his calling as a pastor. In fact, he perverts it.

God will hold him to account.

It’s fairly simple to see at least part of what’s wrong in Georgia.

Nothing glorifies God like announcing to the world that He made a mistake and made you the wrong gender, and you are now correcting His error with surgery and drugs.

It is hard to imagine how the human race has survived these millions of years without the Leftist wisdom these lunatics are imposing on us.

It is also hard to imagine how humanity will survive if they are successful in imposing their thinking on the rest of humanity.

Gays and Trans can’t reproduce.

God will not be mocked.
He says it is an abomination.

Have Baptists ever believed in Transubstantiation?

This false teacher is a good picture of what's wrong in the so called black church.

He's the wolf in sheep's clothing.

One of the rules of the multiverse is to totally ignore folks who M*bate on words...and “phobic” is one of those words.
We should reply, “I got your phobic right here....”

There are many fine black churches holding back the Devil, especially on LGBT; but NO black church can be any more evil than his.

As in ‘The Body of Christ contained in the Eucharist, like we Catholics do? No, I don’t think they subscribe to that.
