'Bash Back': Homosexual Activists Disrupt Church Service
Catholic Online ^ | 11/11/08 | Deacon keith Fournier

Posted on 11/11/2008 5:52:46 PM PST by tcg

Dr. Dave Williams is the Pastor of a large evangelical Protestant Church in Lansing, Michigan called the Mount Hope Church. The Church web site informs the visitor of Pastor Williams that “He has served for 25 years, leading the church in Lansing from 226 to over 4000 today.” The Pastor is repspected in the broader Christian, religious and civic community and the Church has extensive outreaches.

This past Sunday, during a Worship Service at the Church, a group of loud and intentionally disruptive homosexual activists stood outside of the sanctuary of Mount Hope dressed in strange pink attire. Using megaphones for amplification, they shouted epithets at those entering the service such as “Jesus is a homo”.They also mockingly carried an upside down pink cross.

I'd say "Crucify them" but I guess that wouldn't be very Christian of me.

Pray instead that they turn from their wickedness and live.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue addressed this issue today: “The real story here is the refusal of the mainstream media to cover what is surely one of the most disturbing events of 2008. If an organized group of gay bashers stormed a gay church, there is not a single sentient person in the United States who wouldn’t know about it.

Damn straight...no pun intended.

I just can't think of a worse way for Gay folks to make the case that they want to just live like everyone else in the community.

I am not against some form of civil union or marriage for gay folks that is recognized by the state. I am against infringing on the rights of people to worship as they see fit. In my opinion, that is exactly what these folks were trying to do.

Not this again.

They did this at St. Patrick’s Cathedral frequently when Dinkins was mayor.

They are always emboldened when the commies are in charge.

Once again, the “gay” lobby demonstrates its depravity. I know everyone claims they have “nice” gay friends, but, really, folks, have you ever met a sodomite you didn’t think was, at the core, deeply disturbed?

Why didn’t the parishioners get like Jesus when he threw to money-changers out of the temple? In other words, beat the crap out of them.

This is what they count on.

But to be honest, were my parish to be disrupted by protestors, there would be a slight problem, I'm sure. We are very tolerant of other people, but not of other people walking in and disrupting our worship. If they were to refuse all calmer efforts to leave, then I'm sure the retired service members, the off-duty officers, the large number of handymen that keep the church running, under the direction of a handful of Eagle Scouts, would likely make sure that they a) left, and b) were detained out front until the authorities came.

(and I don't want to hazard a guess what might happen if they interrupted the little old ladies at the Italian Mass....)

The Gays have Jumped the Shark at last. They have become what they hated—intolerant jerks.

That's not a new occurence. These are the same people who have been derogatorily referring to heterosexuals as "breeders" for quite a long time.

There's always been a great deal of homosexual militancy, it's just with the rise of the Alternative Media and the internet making every man a "reporter" that they have been exposed for what they are.

Yes. By going into a church they have crossed the line into a full blown civil rights violation. Excellent point. Hopefully they are charged with violation of civil rights, which should get them exactly the disapproval they deserve.

Lessons in “tolerance” from homosexual activists who show us just how peaceful, loving, understanding, fair, and unbiased they really are. Such “respect” for our Constitutional rights.
