“Yeah, you're really seeing the decline of the West right now. That's what we're seeing. It's like a minority standing up and saying, 'Christians, traditionalists, you're not welcome here,'” Luke told Higbee. “We want nothing to do with you. When you take something like a sacrament and you degrade it and you bring in a bunch of drag queens, their moves are really funny, too.”
The sentiments Luke expressed in his interview were echoed in numerous Twitter posts following the ceremony. (Related article: “Organized” arson attacks disrupt opening of Paris Olympics)
