In a shocking turn of events that has sent ripples of – dare we say it – *joy* through the LGBTQ+ community, renowned anti-gay pastor, Bishop Bartholomew Bigglesworth, was caught in a passionate embrace with his… *ahem*… *spiritual advisor*, Chad Thundercock. The incident, captured on grainy security footage obtained exclusively by this publication (and several TikTok influencers), shows Bishop Bigglesworth, known for his fiery sermons condemning the ‘lifestyle,’ engaging in a rather enthusiastic lip-lock with Mr. Thundercock, a surprisingly muscular individual sporting a ‘Kiss My Rainbow Ass’ t-shirt (ironically, under his clerical collar).

Sources within the church (who wish to remain anonymous, lest they be struck down by a bolt of… well, you know…) claim this isn't the first time the pair have been seen canoodling. “He’d always go on about the ‘abominations’ of Pride parades,” whispered one parishioner, clutching a suspiciously damp hymn book. “But then he’d be off to ‘prayer meetings’ with Chad that lasted suspiciously long. Turns out, his prayers were answered… in the most unexpected way.”

The internet, predictably, exploded. #BigglesworthBetrayal trended globally, alongside #HolyHomo and #ChadThundercockBless. Some have suggested this is a sign of God's acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, while others (mostly Bishop Bigglesworth's disgruntled ex-wife and her surprisingly large posse of prayer warriors) believe it's Satan's insidious plan to infiltrate the sanctity of marriage… and apparently, the local Baptist church basement.

Bishop Bigglesworth remains unavailable for comment, his spokesperson releasing a statement reading simply: "The Bishop is currently undergoing a period of intense… *spiritual reflection*. He requests privacy and the immediate cessation of all further questioning. Especially from the press. And Chad. Definitely from Chad."

This developing story highlights the ever-evolving landscape of religious dogma and personal hypocrisy. Stay tuned for further updates, as we attempt to decipher whether this is a divine revelation or merely a case of a particularly persuasive (and powerfully built) spiritual advisor.
