Pastor Andrew Isker claims that he prefers to have the airport security frisk him than go through the scanner because he feels that it is a “gay beam machine” that, yes, “turns you gay.”
Isker makes the baseless claim with zero evidence on his podcast and says he not only chose the pat-down for himself but also for who we can assume is his son.
“Having a guy touch you all over the place, on its face, seems worse,” he added. “You don’t really know what those things are doing to you. They can just take a picture of me neckid [naked]? Like, no.”
Again, there is no evidence of TSA scanners making people gay, nor can they even take photos to be stored later.

@pinknews A Christian Nationalist podcaster has said he would rather be frisked by male agents at TSA that use a body scanner because he thinks they “turn you gay”. On a podcast with co-host C. Jay Engel, Andrew Isker said: “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 right-wing podcaster later admitted that “having a guy touch you all over place, on its face, seems worse”. However, he added “you don’t really know what those things are doing to you. They can just take a picture of me naked? Like, no.” There is no research or evidence whatsoever that using body scanners can affect a person’s sexual orientation. And while the machines use millimeter-wave technology that can see through clothing, the images generated by the airport machines do not make ‘naked’ pictures. #christians #tsa #airport #republicans #lgbtqia
