Afshin Yaghtin of New Covenant Baptist Church was arrested for obstructing an officer as he contended with police that the South Hill Library is public property and that he should be able to speak adjacent to the facility instead of being required to stand across the street.
Video footage posted to social media shows police telling Yaghtin that if he does not support the event, he needs to stand on the other side of the street, away from the library — though those defending the drag queens were permitted to be on the same side.
“So, I can stand right here,” Yaghtin states to one officer. “No, you are going to need to go across the street,” the officer replies.
Yaghtin then speaks to another officer, and is again told to stand across the street. He asserts that the library should be considered public property as the event is solely in one room.
“This is a public library. The only event that they’ve reserved is a private room,” Yaghtin argued. “The rest of the library is U.S. property. … I have the right to free speech wherever I want to speak.”
The homosexual supremacists are on the march!
The BJ Clinton Elian Gonzalez Doctrine, selah.
Give me a break. Nobody’s going want to get drag queen juice all over the place. Save the rooftop snipers for really dangerous protestors, such as leftards, who have a history of violence.
If Antifa were protesting, there would be no police in sight.
Any parent who would take their child to participate in this sort of nonsense needs to be horsewhipped...
Upside down world is spinning out of control.
My employer is in full-throated support of “Pride Month,” including a schedule of celebratory events and even videos praising itself. The “Diversity and Inclusion (D&I)” team — of course a part of HR — is the new enforcement mechanism at organizations, including companies, schools, churches, and governments. The D&I Gaystapo brook no dissent. Speak up, and your employment is ended. Silence is the only option.
The commissars would be proud.
Pedophiles.
This event was dedicated to the memory of Ernst Rohm.
next, public school counselors will guide our children into careers as Drag Queens
after all, DQ’s do usually have to retire pretty young...so there are probably always plenty of vacancies for nice, new young ones?

Just wait until the left regains full national power. They are almost there.

Is this really serious?
Yes or no, this damn country is completely insane.
And I’m not talking about the likes of this pastor.
(BTW, what kind of name is that? Not expecting that name and Christian in the same paragraph at all.)
Exactly....and more signs of total insanity.
We should’ve known when the leftists shut down the sanitoria.
State enforced homosexuality.
No, no, you’d need to use their stupid logic against them.
My husband is a manager at his stupid PC coddling place. Well in the past he got ticked about the queer celebration and complained how he felt “threatened” by the drumbeat of conformation to queer stuff.
They toned down their rhetoric.
BTW, his friend there also in a class they were forced to have about diversity, boldly pointed out how they could not be serious about diversity if all the board people were white women. No, he didn’t get fired but made them uncomfortable.
So the fags got better protection than Benghazi
