Who is Gary Birdsong?

Gary Eugene Birdsong, commonly known as Preacher Gary or simply Gary, is a travelling fundamentalist Christian preacher who frequents college campuses across the United States, particularly in North Carolina. He is known for his unorthodox interpretation of the Bible and his theatrical, accusatory style of preaching. He will often argue vehemently with other, more moderate Christians, who often accuse him of misrepresenting the Christian faith and driving people away from it with his extremism.

Birdsong, known to his audience as the Belk Tower Preacher, Pit Preacher, the Brickyard Preacher, the Sanford Mall Preacher, and the Joyner Steps Preacher has a large repertoire of subjects on which he preaches, ranging from the standards of heaven and hell, to drug use, premarital sex, homosexuality, Islam, atheism, feminism, communism, masturbation, rock and rap music, abortion, evolution, tolerance, politics, war, fashion, witchcraft, and demonic possession.
