American Street Preacher Arrested in England for Preaching During LGBT Pride Event
The Christian Post ^ | 6/26/23 | Ryan Foley

Police not releasing his Bible, Gospel tracts after release with no charges pending

UPDATE: 3:40 p.m. ET June 29: Schiavo told The Christian Post Thursday that he collected his Bible, microphone, speaker and tracts at the Canterbury police station.

Original:

A street preacher who was arrested for preaching in Canterbury, England, while an LGBT pride event was being held is calling on Christians “not to back down and bow before” the LGBT movement.

In an interview with The Christian Post, Ryan Schiavo, an American-born street preacher who typically spends about half the year in the United Kingdom, discussed his June 10 arrest.

Schiavo told CP that he and a friend “went to Canterbury just to evangelize” as they often do, insisting that he was unaware that an LGBT pride event was taking place: “It was not until we arrived and … were headed into the city that we realized that there was an actual pride event going on and it was quite oppressive. I mean, there were rainbow flags, rainbow signage, a lot of people dressed in rainbow [colors] and rainbows painted on faces.”

“There was a band performing somewhere with what appeared to be LGBT singers, and musicians and it was very much in your face,” he added. As Schiavo shared Romans 1:18-32, which he summarized as discussing “God judging society because of wickedness” and “sexual immorality and homosexual behavior,” a crowd started to form around him. According to Schiavo, “There were two hecklers in particular that were making it really difficult for me, one was a guy and one was a girl.”

There is a reason why the Bible says to execute these people and more people are starting to wake up to this wisdom.

Was the event called “The Canterbury Tail Festival?”
I probably shouldn’t give them any ideas.

You are right; it is becoming more and obvious why sexual perversions were a capital offense in the Old Testament; He knew that when a society becomes corrupt in this manner, it is fit only to be burned.

I think any decent person inadvertently coming upon such a disgusting scene would unpremeditatedly exclaim “Oh, Christ....”

God’s words speak to these type people and their outcome.

Problem is God will reach a point that judgement will come and those that condone this immoral behavior will be judged as well.

Speak out.

And on the cyber universe, without any prior warning or explanation afterward - despite attempts for any - about 3 weeks ago flickr.com (owned by Disney) suddenly eliminated my entire account, with images (and there was nothing even close to porn, or violence, racism, vulgarity, profanity..., or known violations of copyrighted material). I mostly used it for my garden photos.

But the nuking occurred after I had uploaded images from the CDC on HIV and STD stats, as seen in this blog post. https://peacebyjesuscom.blogspot.com/2019/10/negative-effects-of-homosexual.html

Images (and extras) themselves can be accessed here: https://www.peacebyjesus.net/nehr/

After contacting help@flickr.com and providing requested verification, their reply simply was,

This account was terminated for Terms of Use and Community Guideline violations and will not be restored.

You are no longer permitted to possess a Flickr account, nor access or use SmugMug services, which includes SmugMug.com as well as Flickr.com.

Attempts to create new accounts on either of these services will be deleted as well.

This trend reminds me of the PACT OF UMAR (used by Islam in attempting to slowly strangle Christianity)

We’re not at liberty to discuss the specifics of accounts closed for violations, but please see https://www.flickr.com/help/terms and https://www.flickr.com/help/guidelines for more information.

Which, as is much the norm in TOU consents, uses such subjectively-defined ambiguous terms (such as, "User Content that is...hateful, ...inflammatory,...or otherwise objectionable or harmful"); that they could justify nuking most anything. In contrast is the overall mature moderation seen on FR.

Correction: Flickr is owned by SmugMug and headquartered in San Francisco, California

Maybe location has something to do with its censorship.
