Church sues homosexual activists for disrupting service

EAST LANSING, MI - A Michigan church has filed a federal lawsuit against a homosexual activist group that claimed responsibility for noisily disrupting a worship service last November.

Midway through the Nov. 9 service at Mount Hope Church near Lansing, members of a group called Bash Back! stood up and shouted slogans at the bewildered congregation, including, "It's OK to be gay." Some of the activists threw pro-gay flyers. Others unfurled a banner inside the church. Outside, Bash Back! members protested what the group called Mount Hope's "anti-queer agenda."


Mount Hope Church is represented by the Alliance Defense Fund, which says it's a federal crime to interfere with people exercising their religious rights in a house of worship.


Bash Back! responds to the lawsuit on its website, declaring that: "Bash Back! and radical transfolk/queers cannot and will not be intimidated."

I remember seeing that "event" on the news. It was bizarre. It looked like a bad high school play with an audience that was thinking, "Am I supposed to get this?"
