So the pastor lied to his flock, Queerty reported that…
Even after a cease and desist on Friday, the church went ahead with a Saturday performance of the show — this time in secret, after marking the whole thing as “canceled” on Eventbrite.
In their following Sunday sermon, pastor Roman Gutierrez assured the congregation that they had permission, saying, “We would like to once again thank the Hamilton team for giving us the license to perform our version of Hamilton.”
Not only did he lie but he also changed the play to make it anti-LGBTQ+. He really set the bar really low for his congregation, lying and breaking the law all in the name of god.
Hamilton cast said…
In addition to reiterating that they never granted any permissions, the Hamilton team assured folks that they could not disagree more with the church’s discriminatory views.
In a statement to USA Today, a spokesperson stated, “The Hamilton family stands for tolerance, compassion, inclusivity and certainly LGBTQ+ rights.”
In an extra-classy move, the team has already pledged all damage payments from the messy musical to to the South Texas Equality Project, which supports LGBTQ people in the McAllen community.
What an example he set for his congregation, that they are above the law and do not have to respect the property rights of others, that you can demonize others all in the name of the Lord.
