American actress Victoria Jackson was slammed online after she delivered a homophobic rant during a city council meeting in Tennessee. On April 11, the 63-year-old personality took to the podium in Franklin to share her thoughts on the council’s proposal to hold a gay pride parade.In the video, which was streamed on the council’s YouTube channel, Jackson can be seen introducing herself before stating that “God hates sodomy.”"He hates homos*xuality – he said it’s an abomination. And God hates s*xual immorality, all kinds. And God hates pride. Like, one of the most things he hates is pride."Victoria Jackson's speech was shared by a Twitter user (Screenshot via @ChristnNitemare/Twitter)She continued:“Proverbs 11:12: When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. Proverbs 16:18: Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. And Sodom and Gomorrah proves that God hates sodomy, and s*xual immorality and pride. And it’s still there, and archaeologists have uncovered it.”She concluded her stance by urging "this generation" not to be "brainwashed."Victoria Jackson was a long-time Saturday Night Live memberThat Week In SNL@ThatWeekInSNL#OnThisDay, Oct. 11, 1986, the 12th season of #SNL began with host Sigourney Weaver and no officially credited musical guest.
