per rules and stuff, title link only http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081112/NEWS01/811120369
Ok, found the gannett rule, title and link are OK.
LSJ article for you.
Time to bring your guns to church.
Let the so called “Gays” dig their own graves with their actions. They shouldn’t be called Gay at all— they should be called what they are—God cursed Sodomites.
yeah, i mentioned to someone earlier today, this kind of thing would never happen in TX.
The Lansing State Journal is the largest newspaper we have in mid-Michigan, so this article qualifies as "hitting the MSM."
Imagine if a bunch of radical Christians ran amok through Shabbes services, yelling "Jesus is the Messiah! Jesus is the Son of God!" while throwing pocket New Testaments and pendant crucifixes into the crowded congregants.
That is precisely what happened here...but where are the roars of "Intolerance!"?
Suppose a cadre of radical Jews infiltrated a mosque during services, chanting "Mohammed was an adulterer! Mohammed was a deviant!" while throwing pocket Talmuds and pendant Mogen Davids into the groups of men kneeling in prayer.
The roars of "Intolerance!" would never cease...and yet, that is precisely what happened here. But I have yet to hear a roar of any kind.
ALL people of faith were attacked by the ignorant and truly intolerant in this incident. Maybe it hasn't come to a mosque or a synagogue near you, yet, but you just wait, friends. This was an opening salvo.

Mozilla shenanigans!!!
This is to Christianity as 911 was to American patriotism.
Christianity is the only religion that the world will attack because it is the truth and is the only extant threat to Satan.
a day of vague historical notation, quickly forgotten by many?
I have already received an email from my boss (I teach 8th grade CCD) reminding me (and all the other teachers) to love the sinner and hate the sin. Mmmhmm. I'm a Christian, I know the drill...but by not speaking out, loudly and firmly against this display of sick intolerance, we are silently condoning it.
I could just puke!
That scenario would be considerably more challenging than the other you wrote or what actually occurred. Retribution would be swift and very messy.
How about standing on a public street corner during a homosexual rally handing out religious tracts? That one would get you immediately arrested.

The Mount Hope Church is a deplorable, anti-queer mega-church in
Lansing, Michigan. The church works to institutionalize transphobia and
homophobia through several repulsive projects including organized “ex-gay”
conferences and so-called “hell houses”, which depict queers, trannies and
womyn who seek abortions as the horrors. Mt. Hope is complicit in the repression
of queers in Michigan and beyond.
Bash Back! ain’t down with that. And so on Sunday November 9th, about
thirty radical queers from Lansing, Chicago, Memphis and Milwaukee
disrupted the church’s most well-attended sermon.
At noon, a small group of folks dressed in pink and black, equipped with a
megaphone, black flags, picket signs and an upside-down pink cross began
demonstrating outside the church. The group was extremely loud and wildly
offensive.
The demonstration drew a majority of Mount Hope’s security staff outside
to watch them.
Meanwhile, with the guards pre-occupied by the distraction, over a dozen
queers had put on their Sunday-best and infiltrated the church’s
congregation. At the signal that the guards had been lured outside, the
infiltrators sprung into action.
A group stood up, declared themselves fags, 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.
Bash Back! operatives, still hidden among the congregation observed a
person screaming that Satan had come to Mount Hope, that the end was here,
that the queers were everywhere. She then began speaking tongues. The
dumbfounded pastor, after regaining his composure, went on to speak of the
of decadent, depraved wolves that menace his flock of sheep.
Let it be known: So long as bigots kill us in the streets, this pack of
wolves will continue to BASH BACK!
We are everywhere.

Lansing: A really QUEER action Nov 9th!
October 23, 2008, 7:44 pm
Filed under: Uncategorized
***PLEASE FORWARD***hey everyone!
Queers and Trannies Bash Back!, is going to be doing a very creative and
fun action on Sunday November 9th. There is space for all levels of
involvement and risk. We need people to do anything from just engaging in
conversation, to tossing some glitter, to playing spin the bottle, to a
more “militant”-looking presence out side of the building. I can tell you
that we are targeting a well-known anti-queer, anti-choice radical right
wing establishment. However, we cant give you really any detailed
information due to the cop who’s ridiculous job it is to do surveillance
over this blog, if you are interested, trust us, its going to be
amazing!
Either dress in casual clothes so you can blend with general people and
have a pink or blue mask or bandanna or flag or something that you can
hide and then use to distinguish you as a protester later. Or if you want
to be a part of the out side action, wear pink and black and have a mask.
The out door action isnt going to be a presence that is necessarily going
to do anything more than look scary to grab attention. So masks, noise
makers, and flags, etc..
Some things we need: Video camera, a megaphone, noise makers, condoms,
glitter by the bucket load, confetti, pink fabric…yeh. If you got any of
this stuff let us know.
Want some more info?? shoot me an email, and we’ll let you know what I can.
otherwise, you can just show up! 10:00 am at The NorthStar center:
106 Lathrop St.
Lansing, MI 48912
“ONLY ONE DIRECTION!
TRANS AND QUEER INSURRECTION!”
-Bash Back! Lansing

I sincerely hope Eaton County LE isn't going to let this drop. Just because there haven't been any arrests yet doesn't mean there shouldn't, or couldn't, be some in the future.
Thanks grellis.
