My read as well. I would interpert it as a group of thugs waiting for the pastor to arrive and the janitor showed up first. Based on their comment, it would also suggest they were beating him up because of the message, not as a response to the message.

Surely if this was a homosexual beating this would have made national media?

Without a doubt.

I will speculate that progressive brownshirts are behind this beating.
