Evangelical preacher Cindy Smock, known as Sister Cindy, who previously went viral for her bizarre campus appearances, has declared herself a “gay icon” – but she is by no means an ally to the community.

Smock has spent the last 40 years touring university campuses across the US and preaching against drugs, premarital sex and homosexuality in the name of Christianity, however, since 2021 she has gained a following amongst college-age students after videos of her crude tirades using Gen Z slang, sexual references and entirely quotable, Mean Girls-esque quips have repeatedly gone viral on TikTok.

Smock’s own, official account on the video sharing platform, created in March 2021 in response to her sudden online fame, has amassed more than 400,000 followers. She even has merch.

Her “Ho No Mo’” revolution – or “hoe no more”, for those out of the loop – has seen Smock introduce her preaching to students as “Welcome to Sister Cindy’s Slut-Shaming Show” where she takes aim at young women who have consensual sex.

The crowds that turn out to see her on their campuses in their hundreds whoop and cheer and boo along with her, but their response seems to be firmly tongue-in-cheek, rather than appreciation of her ultra-conservative Christian mission.

The length and breadth of what Smock has said over the years is quite literally impossible to compile, but here is a small flavour:

“There are some whores in this town,” Smock whispers into a microphone with all the teasing of a pantomime villain, as students gasp and cheer.

“These panther hoes are beautiful,” Smock warns another tittering crowd, “they look like a dream… but they are a nightmare!”

“You’re in BIGGGGGG trouble,” Smock singsongs on another campus, “you’re headed for the eternal, everlasting link of FIREEEEEEEEEEE!”

“”If you buy her one margarita, she will spread her legs!”

Most infamously, a video of Smock declaring “if you buy her one margarita, she will spread her legs!” – and other sexual acts, depending how many margaritas are brought – was remixed by The Chick Angel and amassed millions of views on TikTok.
