” 'In a 2012 segment on atheism, Lemon opened by saying, “God: Does he exist? More and more young people doubt he does — or she,” per The Federalist."
"Former CNN host Don Lemon is facing major backlash with Christians after claiming that the Virgin Mary’s husband, Joseph, was just a gay man who helped her reach Bethlehem so she would not face persecution for being unmarried and pregnant.
"He made the outlandish comment on his recent appearance on the “Michael Steele Podcast.”
"Lemon, who claims to have a relationship with God, told host Michael Steel that the Biblical Nativity Story was just a gay man’s journey to save the Virgin Mary and himself from being persecuted.
" 'I said, well, maybe Joseph was this sort of gay guy who said…” said Lemon, not being able to finish his sentence due to finding it hilarious.
"Steele, laughing hysterically, jumped in and told viewers to pick themselves “off the floor” after hearing the blashphemous remark.
“…right, I [speaking as Joseph] I don’t want her to die or be stoned to death, or whatever because she got pregnant and she’s not married…and then I am not married, or whatever,” Lemon continued, per Breitbart. “So, okay, this is kind of perfect.”
" 'Because he was an older gentleman, unmarried gentleman,” Steele replied." . . .
