Two American anti-LGBT activists with government, business, and media officials in Belize last Wednesday, most likely to advance the that has in recent years led to hostility and violence against the tiny Caribbean nation鈥檚 LGBT population.

The activists, Extreme Prophetic Ministries head Patricia King and Scott Stirm, an affiliated missionary, were joined by a Canadian pastor, Wesley Campbell, who was once sanctioned for connections to a Ponzi scheme. Though their Facebook were short on detail, the activists said they had a 鈥渂reakthrough day鈥� and that 鈥淕od is raising up a mighty group of Belizean leaders.鈥�

Sources tell 澳彩开奖 that Patrick Jason Andrews, a Belizean politician and conservative Christian media personality, was among those who met with the activists. Andrews will represent Belize's capital city, Belmopan, for Belize's main opposition party, the People's United Party, in the next general elections.

As we detailed in our on the anti-LGBT movement in Belize, King and Stirm have extensive records of working to deny human rights to LGBT people. Together with Belizean anti-LGBT activists and the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based , a hardline Christian legal organization founded in 1994 as the Alliance Defense Fund, they have been fighting to keep intact Section 53 of Belize鈥檚 , which prescribes a 10-year sentence for 鈥渃arnal intercourse against the order of nature with any person or animal.鈥�

King is a 鈥減rophetic personality鈥� who claims the ability to 鈥渓iterally raise people from the dead like Jesus did鈥� 鈥� watch her in 2010. Stirm claims that gay tourists come to Belize for 鈥渁 new exotic location in which to corrupt local youth鈥� and warns that male-on-male rape will become legal if Belize鈥檚 anti-sodomy laws are repealed. Meanwhile Campbell was in 2006 from participating in British Columbia鈥檚 capital markets for two years after selling unregistered securities to church members who their investments had been approved by God.

King, Campbell and Stirm are adherents of the 鈥淪even Mountains鈥� movement, a Christian ideology whose proponents they are called to take back the 鈥渟even mountains of culture鈥� 鈥� arts and entertainment, business, family, government, media, religion, and entertainment 鈥� from demonic forces that currently possess them.

In 2010, a Belizean LGBT rights activist named , backed by United Belizean Advocacy Movement (UNIBAM), filed suit in Belize鈥檚 highest national court, arguing that Section 53 violates provisions of the Constitution of Belize that recognize individual rights to human dignity, to be free from arbitrary or unlawful interference with one鈥檚 privacy, and to equal protection under the law.

As with and , American anti-LGBT activists began working to win culture wars abroad that they had lost at home. The result in Belize has been increased hostility against the country鈥檚 聽LGBT population: Orozco, as its most prominent spokesman, has personally been subjected to violence. Both he and his lawyer fear for his life.

Though King, Stirm, et al., have long been actively engaged in stirring up anti-LGBT sentiments in Belize, you鈥檇 never know it from their effervescent Facebook about their recent Caribbean adventures, which included stops in Cozumel and the Cayman Islands and a Super Bowl party on the high seas. Together with a group of fellow-travelers, they just wrapped up a run by Campbell鈥檚 , among whose goals is 鈥渆mpower the student to fulfill their God given commission: to heal the sick, raise the dead etc.鈥�
