A prominent Episcopal bishop ripped a female cleric’s collar off after she briefly forgot her words at an LGBT-friendly Easter Vigil that was emceed by a drag queen.

A video captured the jaw-dropping moment when Bishop Alan M. Gates snatched the collar from Reverend Tamra Tucker’s neck during the service at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston on March 30.

He has now been branded a misogynist and forced into a groveling apology over the incident, which was live-streamed online. 

In the footage, Rev. Tucker, who is the leader of The Crossing, an LGBTQ-inclusive congregation, explained to the attendees that they will now be ‘communing’ with one another.

‘It’s going to go very simply,’ the reverend said as she began to break down the ceremony to the audience, which consisted of several congregations and other Protestant denominations.
