Terrifying video shows a preacher having a gun pointed just inches from his face as he lectured someone he assumed to be a transgender woman, telling her: “God made men to be men.”
Kevin Kihara — a pastor at Christian Forgiveness Ministries — shared footage of Wednesday’s alarming confrontation ordeal on his church’s Facebook page, titling it: “Transgender pulls gun on street preacher in San Francisco.”
It showed Kihara being heckled as he preached into a microphone in the busy Union Square area, addressing someone off-camera and telling them to “be somebody God made you to be.”
“He didn’t make a man to be a woman, he made the man to be a man,” he continued, as a voice off-camera shouted back. “He didn’t make the woman to be man, he made the woman to be a woman and this is the truth.”
Kihara could be seen pausing briefly before addressing someone off-camera, saying, “What are you going to come attack me now?”
Seconds later, a person wearing a blonde wig, overall dress and heeled boots came into view — and pulled a firearm from their bag, pointing it just inches from his face.
“I should,” the gun-toting person could be heard saying before retreating.
As the person started walking away, the preacher shouted out, “Hey man, it’s up to you if you want to pull that on me. God bless you.”
He later added, “I still love you though. Even you pulled a gun on me, I still love you, I still bless you.”
“Shut the f–k up,” the long blonde-haired pedestrian shouted back.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the ordeal was reported to cops, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday.
