Pro-'gay' worship disrupters lose in court

Contempt charges and fines now await a pro-homosexual, anarchist group should its members decide again to invade and interrupt a church worship service.
A federal court issued an order last week that the homosexual-rights group Bash Back! will be held in contempt of court and fined $10,000 for any future incidents targeting churches. According to the Alliance Defense Fund, the group openly advocates the use of riots and crime to promote acceptance of homosexuality.
ADF filed suit against the group after members invaded Mount Hope Church in East Lansing, Michigan, a few years ago. ADF attorney Dale Schowengerdt explains:
"The use of violence, threats, and other criminal behavior to advance a political agenda should never be acceptable in America," he states. "ADF filed suit on behalf of Mount Hope to stop Bash Back! from invading churches, disrupting worship, and terrifying adults and children who attend religious services.
"The court's orders accomplished that and send a message to any other groups contemplating such tactics that they will not succeed."
In late 2008, members of the group staged a distraction outside Mount Hope while others entered during a service -- and at a coordinated time began shouting religious slurs, unfurling a sign, and tossing fliers around the sanctuary while two women began kissing near the podium. Members then pulled fire alarms as they ran out of the building.
In recruiting individuals to join the coordinated attack, Bash Back! sought individuals who would be willing to maintain a "more militant-looking presence" outside the church while others infiltrated what the group described on its website as a "well-known anti-queer, anti-choice radical right-wing establishment."
