Oklahoma hate pastor Paul Blair's church appeals deplatforming at Vimeo after complaints by Hate Trackers led to deletion of their account



In Oklahoma, Pastor Paul Blair of the Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond has become a symbol of virulent hatred towards Muslims and LGBTQ's.

Recently, far right Christian and anti-LGBTQ hate figures along with ex-gays gathered on Feb 22nd and Feb 23rd in Edmond, Oklahoma at the Fairview Baptist Church to organize efforts to fight the "queering" of churches and to battle efforts aimed at ending gay conversion therapy.

The conference was called God's Voice: A Biblical Response to the Queering of the Church.

Those involved recently launched a new morality proclamation petition that targets gays, Drag Queen Story Hour, and Drag Kids at Gone2Far.org, which includes leaders from Mass Resistance.

After the 'God's Voice' conference published its videos on Vimeo, Hate Trackers contacted the video platform company and registered a series of complaints relating to anti-gay and conversion content, which violates the Terms of Service the company requires users to abide by.

Vimeo then removed the Fairview Baptist Church's content and suspended the account.

That deletion included all of the church's 331 videos.

Hate Trackers has now obtained a copy of a communication sent to Blair and his church from Vimeo explaining why he was deplatformed.

Among the reasons Vimeo gives for deleting the account were the 'God's Voice' videos promotion Sexual Orientation Change Efforts.


However, the account has been restored pending an appeal to Vimeo.

Hate Trackers will continue pushing for a permanent deletion due to the excessive violations in the Terms of Service Pastor Blair and his church agreed to but won't follow.
