Steven L. Anderson, 37, who founded the Faithful Word Baptist Church, made headlines in 2016 for praising the Pulse nightclub shooter in Orlando and in 2009 for praying for Barack Obama's death.
An anti-gay, far-right Arizona Baptist church pastor — who made headlines for praying for former President Barack Obama’s death in 2009 and again in 2016 for praising the Pulse nightclub shooter — became the first person to be banned from Ireland by exclusion powers this weekend.
Since the legislation was enacted 20 years ago, it has never been used until Sunday, the department said. Anderson has already been banned from the U.K., which covers Northern Ireland, South Africa, Malawi, Canada, Jamaica and most other European Union countries. Several Irish LGBT+ groups also ran parallel petitions alongside Jenkins’ in a bid to achieve the same goal.
