A pastor insulted and shoved Chilean lawmakers after congress voted in favor of a bill that gives legal protections to gay couples.

Javier Soto on Wednesday (17 December) stormed a congress session, holding a poster protesting the bill and shouted, ‘Record, gentlemen… This is the filth they are offering up? To Chileans, this is perversion.’

‘This half-naked man… look at this and film it, gentlemen. This is what Mr Rolando Jimenez (spokesperson for gay rights group Homosexual Movement of Integration and Liberation) does. Just look. Tell me otherwise.’

Soto then shoved deputy Peter Brown before he was physcially removed from the room by two other lawmakers.

The body that represents evangelical churches in the country condemned his actions and deputy Aldo Cornejo said lawmakers would press charges against the pastor for his ‘unusual and unacceptable violence within the chamber.’

Soto previously said the bill was responsible for a forest fire in the center of the country in April.
