The White House has live-streamed a church service which saw the US vice-president speak and a bishop claim “the devil” causes homosexuality.

After Mike Pence addressed the congregation in Tennessee, the preacher took to the pulpit to talk about same-sex relations in a sermon still available on the administration’s Youtube channel.

“It is a demonic spirit that causes a woman to want to live with another woman,” he said. “It is a demonic spirit that causes a man to be attracted to another man.”

The preacher, who has been named as the bishop Jerry Wayne Taylor, claimed the “devil” is trying to “destroy the foundation of marriage” and “cut off the reproduction process”.

“Two men can’t have a baby. Two women can’t have a baby,” he told the congregation at the Holy City Church of God in Christ.

The White House has been condemned on social media for having streamed the sermon on its Youtube channel, with users calling it “outrageous”.

One person tweeted: ”Did I misunderstand the part about separation of church and state?”

The vice-president – known for his religious conservatism – said he visited the Memphis church to celebrate its anniversary and Martin Luther King, the day before a national holiday commemorated the civil rights leader.

Sharing a picture of himself at the pulpit, Mr Pence said: “We honour [King] by continuing the work he so nobly advanced of forming a more perfect Union with liberty and justice for all.”

After Mr Pence spoke, the bishop told the crowd that homosexuality goes against human nature. ”You never see two male animals coming together,” he falsely claimed.

Research has found that over 1,500 species engage in homosexual behaviour, and two lions were pictured having gay sex in Kenya several years ago.

“We’ve got to expose what the devil is doing,” the bishop added after his incorrect comment about the animal kingdom. “I might get beat up out in the wild but that’s alright.”

The Trump administration defended the religious Mr Pence from accusations of homophobia last year by claiming the fact he met the Irish taoiseach and his same-sex partner showed he is not “anti-gay”.

The religious vice-president, whose wife teaches at a Christian school banning gay and transgender staff and students, has voted against policies supporting LGBT+ and abortion rights in the past.

Donald Trump, the US president, reportedly once joked Mr Pence “wanted to hang all gay people”.

Speaking to Christian university graduates last year, he said people can be “shunned or ridiculed for defending the teachings of the Bible” in the current climate and defended the US administration’s anti-abortion stance.

The vice-president thanked the Tennessee church for its “warm welcome” after his visit over the weekend.
