Anti-gay Texas pastor Donnie Romero is praying for the survivors of the Orlando gay nightclub shooting – he’s praying that they die.

Romero told Stedfast Baptist Church in Fort Worth on the morning of the 12 June attack that he was glad 49 people were shot to death inside of Pulse by a gunman and he prays the 53 people who survived the rampage die as well.

‘These 50 sodomites are all perverts and pedophiles, and they are the scum of the earth, and the earth is a little bit better place now,’ Romero said in his sermon that was posted on the church’s YouTube page in recent days.

‘And I’ll take it a step further, because I heard on the news today, that there are still several dozen of these queers in ICU and intensive care. And I will pray to God like I did this morning, I will do it tonight, I’ll pray that God will finish the job that that man started, and he will end their life, and by tomorrow morning they will all be burning in hell, just like the rest of them, so that they don’t get any more opportunity to go out and hurt little children.’

Romero had previously said he loved the part of the Bible that says God wants gay people to be ‘put to death.’

‘I’m not going to let any of these dirty faggots inside my church. They are all pedophiles,’ he said in December 2014.

‘They’re always trying to rape and hurt other people. They’re relentless. They are relentless. They are predators and given an opportunity to snatch one of your children, they would do it in a heartbeat.’
