Nudity, Crassness, Perversion on Display as San Francisco Celebrates Legal Sodomy 7/2/2003 By Allyson Smith

Anti-Catholic 'Sisters' group takes shot at Vice President Cheney

SAN FRANCISCO—Homosexuals were jubilant—and some naked—Sunday, June 29, as they celebrated last week’s Supreme Court ruling overturning Texas’ sodomy law during this city’s 33rd annual “gay pride” parade.

This writer witnessed no attempt by city police to arrest those who were publicly nude, and no attempts to urge revelers to cover their private parts.

The San Francisco "gay" celebration occurred just two days after President George W. Bush visited the city on a campaign stop to raise an estimated $5 million for his 2004 reelection campaign. Bush’s spokesman, Ari Fleisher, side-stepped any serious comment on the high court's Lawrence v. Texas ruling by dismissing it as a state issue during a news conference following the decision.

No limit to their "PRIDE", is there!! /S

As He came down and passed judgment on Sodom & Gomorrah, His wrath on the city of love would not surprise me at all. The land of earthquakes could very well swallow this place up, and justification would be fully warranted.

If we can have a 1500 post thread about secession and the Civil War in Breaking News, why not this one?

Thank you for posting this.

BTW, gays tried to attack a straight Supervisor, Gavin Newsom with copper pipes among other things.

They were released. Naturally.

Rick, if you are part of CWA, tell them there ARE people here who agree and are sick of the homosexual agenda in this city.

BTW ignore the OBVIOUS troll on this thread.

We're not trolls, we're just sick of Fundamentalists busybodies.

Expect a few more posts of this. There are several associated organizations under the same umbrella that time their releases to keep them in the public eye.

Its called "advocate journalism" and its not new on the left or the right. They're all basically the same post and will attract the same responses.

Define "fundamentalist."

Don't chicken out.

You remember when you were a child and a parent would tell you no? Sometimes you just weren't capable of understanding why not. Even though the parent was right.

Danconian is that child.
Moral conservatives are that parent.

Thank you for posting this. I'm not naive to the fact that this kind of stuff happens in San Francisco but it still shocks, angers, and saddens me everytime I read or hear the details.

There are so many people here on Free Republic who dismiss postings like this as mere gay bashing/homophobia just because the issue is not important to them. The truth is that they truly are ignorant and could not see the negative impact that the radical homosexual movement is forcing on all of society, especially the young and the impressionable.

If the media would show just a small fraction of what really goes on in these gay pride parades, the public will wake up to the reality of the present and of the dangerous future ahead. Instead they show decent-looking people pushing strollers (just like the article says) with innocent sounding slogans on their posters just pleading for equality and understanding for their plight.

God help the children of this country, especially those whose parents are leading them astray.

You mean like that post from the Ayn Rand cultists fans that employed Maureen Dowd tactics?

A preacher who has spent years using a bullhorn to rile at passers-by... Associated Press

WEST CHESTER, Pa. - A preacher who has spent years using a bullhorn to rile at passers-by on college campuses about "fornicators," "whores" and "sodomites" is accused by a 14-year-old boy of soliciting a sex act.

The boy told police that the Rev. C. Stephen White, 40, of North Philadelphia offered him money to perform oral sex on him. White declined to comment at his arraignment Thursday, but defense lawyer J. Michael Considine Jr. said his client maintains he only asked the boy for directions.

"In all the years I've known him, there's never been any hint ever of going to strip clubs, wanting to have sex with boys, looking at pornography or soliciting sex," Considine said. "I'm shocked and I believe that he is innocent."

The boy told police that a stranger drove up beside him on the street in West Chester on June 26 and asked him if he new of any strip clubs or adult bookstores. Soon after that, the man offered to pay him to commit the act. The boy told police that he said no and walked away, then repeated the license plate number of the stranger's car to himself as he ran to his aunt's house.

The license plate number was later traced to White, and the boy identified the man who approached him using White's driver's license photo.

White was taken to Chester County Prison on Thursday after failing to post $100,000 cash bail.

"Our concern is that because he is a reverend and deals with youth, there may be other victims out there," West Chester Police Detective Stan Billie said.

Considine said White was in West Chester that day to discuss a lawsuit he has filed against the Philadelphia Police Department about several arrests for his preaching. Considine said the suit sought better training for police officers about how to handle that sort of situation.

White has been a fixture on the University of Pennsylvania campus since the early 1990s and also preaches to passers-by at other campuses in Philadelphia and elsewhere. He was a prominent enough figure at Penn that the chaplain's office held a panel discussion about his methods in 1998.

"Sometimes he would bring his own kids along with him," said Ian Sneed of the university's InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Center. "His son would try to be like Daddy, ranting and raving while holding a Bible."

White also runs a youth ministry program in North Philadelphia, where neighbors said he distributed toys to children around Christmas and often held long basketball games in the ministry building.

I think you can do better than calling people here "fundamentalist busybodies" and posting an article about a phony preacher.

Just because you don't agree that this issue is important doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed (besides, you could be wrong on this). We are merely calling people's attention to a moral issue facing our country. Don't reduce our arguments to mere noise about nothing.
