Last week, this editor published a VIP post on a female Episcopal priest who was explaining to her church how God was trans. She said that Mary assigned male to Jesus at birth, but after His death and the Resurrection, Jesus "transitioned," coming back in His true, transgender form.
That video was brought to us by The Dissenter, which has found another doozy. Here we have a reverend (another female, no surprise) preaching that it only makes sense to assume that Lazarus was queer. Apparently, the term "homosexual" didn't exist to label people at this point in history, but it doesn't take a lot of imagination to read Jesus' command, "Come out!" to infer that Lazarus was a closeted gay man.
"Rev" Jeanne M. Hansknecht of St. Paul's says that Jesus demonstrated that Lazarus was gay by calling him to "come out." Then, after arguing that Lazarus had no recorded wife or children, she spews this gem:

"And he was a good friend of Jesus, not a student or disciple, but a… pic.twitter.com/AMVhWAVGJI
The post continues:
… friend, which in my mind's eye ranks right up there with being a friend of Dorothy."
For context, "friend of Dorothy" is a longstanding expression historically used to identify gay men.
So not a real church.

Perhaps your "mind's eye" might be the problem?

People such as this infiltrate religious communities and once in proceed to spew their perversion and hatred of religion.

Any church or faith that tolerates such people in leadership roles is hopelessly lost and eventually doomed.
Heretical "clergy" saying heretical things. All I hear is a Charlie Brown adult spewing nonsense.

This is just online content she created to stir up trouble. It’s not part of a St. Paul’s service. This lady is preaching to a literally empty room.

These frauds always post their solo videos, but never debate anyone. They can’t defend their insane takes.

What a load of crap.
There’s a lightning bolt in her future.⚡️
I support running every woman out of every pulpit in America (and probably half the feckless woke metrosexual men)…if necessary by force.

That's it, I'm done, and I'm not even Christian. How can the fellowship tolerate such a sacrilege of their scripture?

Orthodox Christianity is the only sane option left.

All other forms of Christianity have fallen.
The level or blasphemy and heresy is disgusting.

The "Rev" Jeanne M. Hansknecht of St. Paul's is a moron.

Lazarus died, and came back to life. What are they going to say next? He was forced into the closet and the tomb was a metaphor for shutting away his true self?

These people are not being resurrected🥀
May God open her eyes to see the truth. Until then, may He remove her from this position of leading people into false doctrine.

This ranks up there with the most absurd hypotheses ever put forward, ever. Based on the evidence, they have reached the furthest possible conclusions.

Well, she's looking at the Gospels through a "queer lens."
If you are an Episcopalian who believes Jesus is the Messiah, get out of that church now and find a good Bible based church that preaches the Word as written and not some wicked, twisted version of it.

This is what passes for erudite scholarship in much of mainline Protestantism in the UK and USA. It is also why such ‘Christian’ communities are rapidly disappearing.

She needs to “come forth” and admit she hates God.

‘My sexual deviancy is beyond normal—it’s theologically sanctioned at the highest order.’ The arrogance of this terrible person.

In a land with no closets, she finds one for him to be called out of to make her first point.

The term "homosexual" didn't exist, but the phrase "coming out of the closet" did. Lazarus wasn't dead; he was just gay.
