Evangelical Church wins court case againts hoimosesual group

So. The U.S. District Court of Michigan has awarded victory to an evangelical church in Lansing, Michigan, after it filed suit against a group of self-proclaimed gay "anarchists," called Bash Back!, over their protest and disruption of a Sunday service.

Members of the gay group "infiltrated the church" and started shouting and kissing as well as throwing glitter (how cheesy).

The Judge ruled against Bash Back saying they areprohibited from disrupting a religious service anywhere in the United States, and they may not conduct a protest at or destroy any property "on the private grounds of any place of worship in the United States."

"This injunction is a stiff penalty: a $10,000 fine if they do this again anywhere in the country. So, it protects every Church in the country."

It's good that the Judge handed down this ruling, it would've been insane if he actually let them get away with it.

Considering this was in the Church, I don't see what's wrong with this ruling.

It was immature and offensive for them to act that way while people were at a religious service on private property.

Talk about being to sensitive :lol:

When I read the title I expected some uncool ruling, but hearing the story makes me glad the judge made the call.

Seriously people. if you want to get your cause out in the open, don't act like an immature troll and disrespect private property and good people. That's what the WBC does. Do you want to be like the WBC?

The judge made the right decision and the gay group was being obnoxious, but I hope people don't start trashing or making generalizations against gay people in general in this thread.

[QUOTE="ferrari2001"]Way to go judge. If those members of the homosexual community want an expansion of their right and liberties they should respect the other views and liberties of other groups who also deserve them. What goes around comes around. imaps3fanboy

Yeah I was going to mention that, but they're still no one to aspire to and have similar tactics (IE, annoying the **** out of people to push their stupid cause).

Not that being gay is a stupid cause, but causing disruption for anarchy is a stupid cause.

Well, unless your Tyler Durden. Then its rad!

"started shouting and kissing as well as throwing glitter" how does that constitute 10 grand of damages? weezyfb

No he said there would be a 10k fine if they did it again.

If it is on private property, then they shouldnt be doing that. Even on public property that would be pretty disruptive.

Made the right decision. They wouldn't like it if a group of priests just came into their house and shouted anti-gay remarks about them.ABCarmine

Pretty much what I was thinking.

Its also pretty hypocritical if you ask me, and it is definitely not doing them any favors. I'm sure not sympathetic to that group in any way, and I'm all for gay rights too.

Gay extremists have in the past been known to be f***ing obnoxious.

[QUOTE="weezyfb"]"started shouting and kissing as well as throwing glitter" how does that constitute 10 grand of damages? whipassmt

And I bet they won't do it again as money speaks very loudly.

I want to get a job in the evangelical church as one of those people that they touch and cast the demons out of.

That was a VERY long time ago. Its like bringing up lynchings from the 19th century when someone brings up flaws in the Black Panther radical group.

In five countries, being gay is punishable by death.

also does anyone else see a little double standard here. This is what the Bash Back group said on it's blog:

"A group stood up, declared themselves **** and began screaming loudly. Upon hearing the loud interruption, other affinity groups went into action. A team that had been hiding under the pews in the closed-off balcony dropped a banner and pulled back the curtains to reveal 'IT'S OKAY TO BE GAY BASH BACK!'. Another group threw over a thousand fliers to the entirety of the congregation. The fire alarm was pulled. Queers began making out in front of the pastor. And within a matter of minutes, everyone had evaded the guards and made their escapes."

Good. That kind of behavior should not be tolerated at all. I would be extremely pissed off if a Gay group came and did this to my church (and I'm gayTauruslink

What does this have to do with Christianity? The current countries punishing homosexuality by death are Muslim.

Agree with the ruling. Man I can't picture a group of people disrupting a mass while throwing glitter around without it being over the top.:P

Good, Talk about a dick move.

Lol. When I first read it, I thought that it was the news site referring to them as that, but then I saw that it said according to the Bash Back blog.
