CHARLOTTE, NC, April 11 /Christian News Wire/ -- What is causing the homosexual community in the Charlotte area such consternation these days? Christians are not standing idly by while God’s Word is being trashed in the streets. They are coming out of the closet!
More than 700 gentle Christians converged on the Rowan-Salisbury School Board last night to stand for Christ and say, "No," to the radical homosexual agenda that is weaseling its way into our public schools. The preachers preached, the singers sang, the prayers prayed, and the theology of the church house became biography in the streets of Salisbury, North Carolina.
The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education, after feeling the heat of the Christian community, began to see the light and reversed its decision to allow a homosexual club to form at the South Rowan High School. In a unanimous 8-0 decision the school board voted to dissolve the student club, "Gay-Straight Alliance."
"This is simply one more in a string of defeats for the radical homosexual agenda in the greater Charlotte area," said Rev. Flip Benham, National Director of Operation Save America. "The Church of Jesus Christ has come out of the closet and, and because it has, the homosexual community is steadily moving back into it."
Just last month, "Charlotte Pride," the annual homosexual lust fest that parades its sin in downtown Charlotte every spring, was pushed into its grave by the Gospel of Christ. How did it happen? Q-notes, the leading gay and lesbian news source in the Carolinas, said this: "The future of Charlotte’s annual Gay Pride celebration isn’t looking too bright these days . . . former Charlotte Pride co-chair Nathan Smith resigned in a virtual burnout and organizers are less than enthusiastic about Charlotte Pride 2006. Chris Conyers (one of the organizers) said, ‘It seems as though community support has gone down and the presence of Operation Save America, I think, has made it unpleasant for many people…’"
South Rowan High School is free from the bane of a homosexual club today. The City of Charlotte is free today from the public display of obscene homosexual acts in a public park. Why? Because the Church of Jesus Christ is out of the closet. Christian moms and dads, pastors, and businessmen are taking the battle to the very gates of hell and winning.
"Our city and government officials continually tell us, ‘Our hands are tied.’ We continually remind them that the hands of the Church of Jesus Christ are not!" Rev. Benham said.

Congrats to my Christian brothers and sisters in Charlotte! You go, guys and gals!
VERY appropriate choice of words in my opinion.
Good news! As more real Christians and Jews stand up against the rabid Homosexual agenda pushers, we will see more victories like this:

Fred Phelps, is that you?
Methinks the Church should spend more time showing God's love to people than fighting social problems. God's love is stronger than any counter-protest.
Great, great news. Well done, Christian soldiers!
Wow, another Gay Pride event shutting its doors AND the schools taking action!
I agree. However, please show me how a statement like this: "The Church of Jesus Christ has come out of the closet and, and because it has, the homosexual community is steadily moving back into it"
or this: South Rowan High School is free from the bane of a homosexual club today.
or this: The City of Charlotte is free today from the public display of obscene homosexual acts in a public park.
is helping anyone escape from the homosexual lifestyle?
Looks to me like the real message of this group is "We don't care what you do, as long as we don't see it."
What part of "tough love" don't you understand? This isn't a counterprotest, it is routine maintenance by the vast majority against a disruptive tiny minority of anarchists.
Your point of view reminds me of the parents in the grocery store or restaurant who watch their children having screaming tantrums and stand by smiling at those whose ears are offended by the piercing noise, as if to say, "Isn't he cute?"
Jesus himself turned over the tables of the moneylenders, and spoke of God's wrath to come for the complacent sinner.
Yeah!! "Change Is Possible" see....

Thank you for the good news! Great day in the morning!
More and more people need to stand up for the truth like these fine people in NC!
Homosexuality is more than a social problem, it is a spiritual problem. If people who believe in God had stood up like this earlier and oftener, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today.
