While Cash Baker claimed that In 2020, he was preaching the gospel on social media out of love for his followers, he said a few other things that angry respondents quickly interpreted as hateful. A since-deleted TikTok video from August 5, 2020, revealed he had issues with aspects of sexual identity politics. “Me being a Christian, can I support the LGBT community? No, I cannot,” he wrote, per Daily Dot. “So am I behind the LGBT community? Do I promote it? Do I encourage it? Absolutely not. But guys, you gotta understand. Everybody gets that so confused with us saying that we hate LGBTQ people and all that. But guys, no, that is completely, completely wrong.”
Outraged, respondents erupted on social media with comments that included, “This squeaker has never once opened the spine of a bible of any religion,” and “He ended his career with this one.” The backlash hit the influencer hard, as he claimed that his hits per video had nosedived from a million to as low as 200,000. But Cash didn’t limit his rants against the LGBTQ+ contingent; he had plenty to say about folks whose religions don’t follow the Savior. “Making up false gods and prophets is a sin in the Bible,” he said, per Pink News. “If you get mad at this video and you’re telling me that I’m not respecting other religions, then you’re not respecting my religion, because in my religion, it tells me to tell you that.”
