Biography

Scott Lively is an American Christian activist widely noted for his anti-gay views. Although not a pastor, Lively regularly cites his strong Christian faith as the reason for opposition to LGBTQ+ rights. Lively has also been involved in opposing abortion, but his main focus since becoming a born again Christian in 1986 has been campaigning against LGBTQ+ rights in the U.S and abroad - travelling to Uganda, Latvia and Russia on visits aimed at encouraging government legislation targeting gay rights.

Lively’s verbal attacks on gay people began in the 1990’s, and in 1995 he authored a book titled “the Pink Swastika” - and that argued that gay Nazi commanders were behind the atrocities of Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Lively also played a major role - amongst other U.S Christian right activists - in Uganda’s introduction of the Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2014, despite distancing himself due to the Ugandan government’s introduction of the death penalty for homosexuals as part of the legislation.
