Airport scanner gay
New TSA body-scanner dictate criticized as anti-trans
On June 23 of last year, I held the microphone as a same-sex attracted man in the New Orleans Metropolis Council Chamber and related a missing piece of lgbtq+ history to the seven council members. I told this story to disabuse all New Orleanians of the notion that silence and accommodation, in the face of institutional and official failures, are a road to healing.
The story I comparable to them began on a standard Sunday night at a second-story exclude on the fringe of New Orleans’ French Quarter in 1973, where working-class men would group around a alabaster baby grand piano and belt out the lyrics to a song that was the anthem of their disguised community, “United We Stand” by the Brotherhood of Man.
“United we stand,” the men would warble together, “divided we fall” — the words epitomizing the ethos of their beloved UpStairs Lounge bar, an egalitarian free space that served as a forerunner to today’s queer safe havens.
Around that piano in the 1970s Intense South, gays and lesbians, white and Black queens, Christians and non-Christians, and even early gender minorities could cast aside the racism, sexism, and homophobia of the times to find accep
A Christian podcaster and pastor has said he prefers being “patted down” by airport security agents than going through body scanners because he thinks they turn people gay.
Fourth Avenue Evangelical Church preacher and conspiracy theorist author Andrew Isker used a portion of his right-wing current affairs podcast Contra Mundum to spread a baseless and ridiculous conspiracy theory that TSA body scanners in airports can form people queer.
Full body scanners in airport security terminals are devices that can scan for hidden items either swallowed by a person or that own otherwise been missed during searches.

Despite having no available evidence to back up the claim, Isker said during the segment: “I’m not going to go through the ‘gay beam’ machine. I didn’t let C. Jay do it, I wouldn’t let him do it. I said, ‘You’re getting patted down, too, buddy. I don’t want them turning you gay.'”
The podcaster then reassured his clearly worried and clearly homophobic fans that he is aware “having a guy touch you all over the place, on its face,
Pastor Refuses to Walk Through Airport Scanners, Would Rather Be Frisked Than Exposure Security Machines 'Turning You Gay'
A Christian pastor and social media influencer stated his belief that full-body scanners at the airport can "turn people gay," hence explaining his liking for being patted down by security instead.
Andrew Isker, a Fourth Street Evangelical Church preacher and conspiracy theorist, took to his podcast "Contra Mundum" on Friday to share his stance on airport scanners, describing them as "gay beams."
"I had to be molested at the airport to go to Florida, just to get on an airplane because I'm not gonna go through the gay beam machine. I didn't let CJ do it, I wouldn't let him do it. I said, 'You're getting patted down too buddy, I don't want them turning you gay,'" said Isker.
"It appears, having a guy touch you all over the place on its face seems worse, but you don't really know what those things are doing to you. They can just seize a picture of me naked? Like, no," he continued.
