PEOPLE: Rev. Craig Duke, an Indiana pastor who appeared on the docuseries We're Here in drag, was forced out of his job for the transgression of ... LIPSTICK. A GoFundMe has surpassed its goal of raising cash to help the unemployed person of God.

GLAAD said of Duke's departure:

Pastor Craig Duke stepped into a community that has experienced disproportionate church-based trauma to proclaim a message of God’s love for all of creation. Pastor Craig is emulating the example of Jesus, who also spent time with those who were rejected by the pious. That his own church members bully him and the church hierarchy into removing him from his ministry is a disservice to the congregation, to the Evanston community, and to the ministry of the United Methodist Church.

Everyone met Pastor Craig a couple of weeks ago on the Evansville, IN episode of #WereHere Sadly his participation in the show has caused the Church to “relieve him of his pastoral duties.”
