In a shocking turn of events that has left the internet simultaneously baffled and delighted, Pastor Bob Dole, known for his fiery sermons against the "rainbow menace" (his words, not ours), has inadvertently founded the most ironically inclusive LGBTQ+ support group in the history of ironic LGBTQ+ support groups.

It all started, as these things often do, with a poorly worded press release. Pastor Dole, attempting to denounce the "immoral lifestyle" of the LGBTQ+ community, declared that he would be holding a 'fire and brimstone' rally to 'set the gays straight' (again, his words). What he failed to account for was the sheer number of fabulously dressed individuals who interpreted this as an *invitation*.

The rally, instead of the expected gathering of judgmental churchgoers, saw a riot of glitter, fabulousness, and a surprisingly high number of crocheted afghans. Turns out, the Pastor's 'fire and brimstone' sermon was drowned out by the infectious energy of the attendees who had taken 'setting the gays straight' as a challenge to create a safe space for self-expression.

'I didn't expect to be surrounded by such... *enthusiasm*', Pastor Dole stammered to reporters, dabbing his brow with a handkerchief adorned with a unicorn wearing a rainbow tutu. 'They brought cookies. Rainbow cookies. It was…unsettling.'

The group, now affectionately known as 'Bob's Regrettable Rainbow Revolution,' meets weekly, featuring drag queen bingo, 'Bible Study with a Twist' (which involves reinterpreting the Book of Revelations as a queer coming-of-age story) and potlucks filled with ethically-sourced kale smoothies and surprisingly delightful meatloaf.

'It's like a bad sitcom, but the best kind of bad', stated attendee and self-proclaimed 'gay rights warrior' Chad Thundercock (who, ironically, works as a tax accountant). 'I'm pretty sure Pastor Dole's experiencing an existential crisis. It's fabulous.'

The story concludes with Pastor Dole, currently being forced to host a Pride-themed bake-off, nervously eyeing the three-tiered cake decorated with a very suggestive depiction of Adam and Steve. The moral of the story? Sometimes, even the most staunch homophobes inadvertently pave the road to queer liberation – one accidentally inclusive support group at a time.
