We are very surprised that we should find ourselves quoting a new source to QUEERGURU called THE MORAL HIGH GROUND, which is a substack by journalist Evan Hurst.  He writes We are living through a world-historical temper tantrum from white conservative Christians over their loss of control, relevance, and supremacy. This weekly newsletter looks at current events through that lens and usually mocks it mercilessly.  

This is the headline that caught  our attention :

Hurst’s report is based on actual FACTS…. not estimates ….and it has been tracking at least 188 separate cases against prominent US-based conservatives.

50 new accusations, convictions, or arrests were added to the list when it was last updated on 31 October, Hurst previously updated the list in August.

“As of that day, I had tracked 138 separate stories in 2025 alone involving Christian pastors/ youth group leaders/priests/ Christian school teachers, etc. Who had been accused/caught/arrested for/convicted of abusing kids in some way,” he said. “Now it is October 31. That list has grown to… 188!”

Just days after Hurst shared the updates, Californian Christian youth pastor Joshua David Kemper, who has previously shared anti-LGBTQ+ content on Facebook, was arrested on charges of child sexual abuse. Kemper, 47, was taken into custody following a months-long investigation into accusations that he sexually abused a 15-year-old girl between March and July. During that time period, Kemper shared an AI-generated post on his Facebook account suggesting LGBTQ+ people were a danger to youngsters.
