(AgapePress) - The head of a Philadelphia-based Christian ministry says his group was targeted by a "lawless mob" of homosexuals at the city's annual homosexual pride event -- and that city police refused to enforce state laws against harassment and disorderly conduct at that time.
New video footage from Repent America shows homosexuals with the group "Anti-Racist Action" shouting profanities at RA director Michael Marcavage and even threatening him with physical violence in the presence of Philadelphia police officers. Members of the group also yelled "Christian fascists" at RA participants while ministering at the June 11 event.
Marcavage suggests the pro-homosexual groups participating in the event are getting special treatment.
"The Philadelphia police are not enforcing the law when it comes to harassment, when it comes to disorderly conduct -- and, especially at the Pride Parade and Festival, we see floats that have obscene things taking place on them," says Marcavage. "So they're not even enforcing the open lewdness statute here in the state of Pennsylvania."
The Philadelphia Police Department, he adds, is seemingly "turning a blind eye to whatever the homosexual groups are doing."
According to the RA director, the homosexual group Anti-Racist Action has also engaged in unlawful behavior outside the homes of Repent America members.
"Well, it's deeply grieving to see people embracing their sin," he says in reference to the pro-homosexual activists. "And not only embracing their sin, but celebrating their sin -- and then wanting to actually attack anyone who would tell them that this is a self-destructive lifestyle and that there is hope for you. And that's really what our message is."
While being shouted down by the homosexual activists, Marcavage calmly preached over a microphone: "You don't get to heaven by being a good person. You don't get to heaven by doing good things. We have all violated God's law, and the only hope we have is found in Jesus Christ."
Repent America is asking Christians in Pennsylvania and elsewhere to contact Philadelphia Police Department, asking Commissioner Sylvester Johnson to ensure that the laws be enforced.
You should understand that only non-humans are allowed to speak their gobbledygook while humans are required to be quite and be converted to the ways of Sodom.
If Satan's demons don't slither away from, they ferociously strike out at Christ's children.
Whoa! Such imflammatory speech! Such provocation! Can't you just see the hate and violence oozing out?/sarc
A careless distinction. A better one is to say that actions matter over intentions.
Also- that we are not what we wish we were, but rather what we are in truth. This is so redundant that it nearly begs the question.
Uh, homosexuals are not a race, at least not a very fecund one...

Similar happened to same Christian group during Philadelphia's homosexual "outfest" in October 2004 (keyword philly11):

They're always trying to qualify as a "race". And the saddest part is, people out there are buying into it.
"Well, it's deeply grieving to see people embracing their sin," he says in reference to the pro-homosexual activists. "And not only embracing their sin, but celebrating their sin -- and then wanting to actually attack anyone who would tell them that this is a self-destructive lifestyle and that there is hope for you. And that's really what our message is."
Next they'll be pounding on your door demanding that you come out so that they can "know" you. They will keep at it even after angels strike them blind.
Not hard to understand, look at who is running thev city.
anyone find the video?
