After Being Asked About ‘God’s Sausage,’ James Talarico Says Christians Don’t Care About God’s Gender

Democratic Texas state Rep. James Talarico doubled down on his infamous claim that God was “nonbinary” during an interview released Thursday, citing the Apostle Paul.

Talarico, a former public school teacher who is currently attending a Presbyterian seminary, defeated Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the March 3 Democratic primary for the party’s nomination for the United States Senate seat held by Republican Sen. John Cornyn. “The Bulwark” podcast host Tim Miller kicked off the discussion during Thursday’s episode by asking Talarico about God’s genitalia.

“In the meat section, first, how big is God’s sausage? Would you say we know God is a man? And so I’m just wondering like how healthy his hog is,” Miller asked Talarico, who responded, “So I know this is rapid fire, but let me just because-”

“Two-word answer, please. Yes or no?” Miller asked Talarico, who responded, “Listen, I know that I was, um, that I was being provocative, um, with that comment.”

“Uh, I made it on the floor of the House when the extremists in the Texas legislature were trying to pick on kids who were different,” Talarico continued, referring to his 2021 speech on the floor of the state Legislature. “And while it’s maybe provocative politically, I don’t think it’s controversial theologically. Most Christians uh believe that God is beyond gender. In fact, the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Galatians says that in Christ there is neither male nor female. So if you have a problem with what I said, don’t take it up with me, take it up with the Apostle Paul.”

In his 2021 speech, Talarico attacked conservative Christians who sought to enact restrictions on child sex change procedures.
