Hateful preacher who thinks gay people should be stoned to death has been banned from New Zealand
Anti-gay US pastor Steven Anderson has declared that New Zealand is in trouble with God after it became the 34th country he is barred from visiting.
The leader of Arizonas fringe Faithful Word Baptist Church, who supports the death penalty for homosexuality and openly celebrated the massacre at Orlandos Pulse gay club, had applied for a visa to visit New Zealand for a missionary trip.
However, in a YouTube video on October 17 he shared a letter informing him that his request had been declined because he does not meet character requirements.
The letter cites the plethora of other countries that have excluded Anderson which includes Australia, Canada, Botswana, Jamaica, South Africa, Ireland and the United Kingdom. He is also banned from the Schengen area, the common European travel area consisting of 26 countries, bringing the total to 34.
