The Rev. Larry Tomczak, an associate pastor at Bethel World Outreach Church near Brentwood, Tenn., was named in a Maryland lawsuit that was filed against leaders of Sovereign Grace Ministries, a denomination Tomczak helped found in the 1980s and later left. The suit was originally filed in October by three alleged victims of abuse and was amended Friday (Jan. 11) to add five others. All eight were given pseudonyms. It alleges that Tomczak, who lives in Franklin, Tenn., and other church leaders covered up sexual abuse in the denomination and at a Christian school in Gaithersburg, Md., in the 1980s and 1990s. Tomczak also is accused of repeatedly assaulting a woman (who is given the pseudonym Carla Coe) with plastic and wooden sticks. The alleged abuse began when she was a child and lasted more than two decades. When the woman was an adult, the lawsuit claims, Tomczak beat her bare backside.

Last week Ellen DeGeneres responded on her show to anti-gay Pastor Larry Tomczak, who wrote acolumn in which he essentially accused her of using Taylor Swift to lure young girls into lesbianism. Yesterday Tomczak fired back in the below smirky clip in which he doubles-down: "Hollywood has a definite gay agenda and you are part of it."points out that in 2013 Tomczak was sued for physically abusing a woman over a 25-year period.Tomczak is also the author of, a book which advises Christian parents to beat their children. Check out the book's cover . Back in March 2014 I posted a clip in which Tomczak declares that "God is punishing effeminate men and mannish women."
