God is nonbinary
The claim
Paxton's campaign created an ad using AI depicting James Talarico doodling in a bible with crayons with an AI voice saying God is nonbianary
Ken Paxton, Campaign Ad, Sept 9 2026
What was actually said
Talarico said "I want to speak directly to my fellow believers in the chamber. In committee I listened to 15 hours of testimony on this bill, the worst part for me was the number of Christians who used scripture to justify hurting children. Even on this floor today a member tried to justify a hateful amendment in the name of God's law. So let's talk about that. The first two lines of the Bible the first two lines in Genesis used two different Hebrew words to describe God, one is the masculine Hebrew noun for divinity, the second is the feminine Hebrew noun for spirit. God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between, God is nonbinary. In Genesis 1:26 God speaks of God's self in the plural saying let us make human beings in our image to be like us. That's the infinite multitude of God the masculine the feminine and everything in between."
