SAN FRANCISCO: Sparks fly as 'gay' activist mob swarms Christians
Residents of homosexual district: 'We're going to kill you. We know who you are'

Hundreds of homosexual activists rushed out of bars and swarmed a group of Christians who were singing songs in San Francisco's Castro District - and some even threatened to kill the worshippers.

A group of Christians had been singing and praying in the "gay" district for several days, but they never expected an angry mob would run them out. However, that's what happened Friday night.

One woman who was attacked told her story with Pastor Lou Engle at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. She said the group's fellowship had been peaceful for several nights before the riot.

"People would come stand with us and join us," she said. "We got to pray for some people."

But then angry men began yelling profanities and warning the Christians to leave the district.

(Warning: Video may contain offensive language)

One asked, "Why are you here?"

The leader of the group said, "We're here to worship God, and we're here because we love you."

A group of men approached the Christians and covered them with a large cloth, backing them into a corner. Then the angry mob began swearing and growing larger. The bars began emptying out, and a crowd completely surrounded the Christians.

The worship group began singing "Amazing Grace," while an estimated 500 "gay" advocates sang, "We Shall Overcome."

The woman said she and her friend were doused with hot coffee. One man took a Bible from her friend, hit her on the head with it, pushed her to the ground and began kicking her. People began lunging at the Christian group, blowing whistles in their ears.

"They started saying, 'We're going to kill you,'" she said. "They started taking our pictures and saying, 'We're going to kill you. We know who you are."

Then she said a man jumped through the crowd and pushed her forehead.

Just then, a squad of police officers arrived in riot gear, surrounding the Christians and forming a protective human wall.

She said the police told them, "You have to leave if you want to make it out."

When the group continued praying, an officer came back and said, "You don't have a choice anymore. We're going to escort you out."

The officers then took the Christians to their cars. The angry mob began lunging at them through the riot gear and chanting "Shame on you."

Some yelled, "We are going to follow you all the way home." Others called the Christians "hypocrites."

One man screamed into a camera, "We don't ever want them coming back. Do you understand that, other Christians? Do you understand that, other Mormons? I'm talking to you, people. Yeah, you. Stay out of our neighborhood if you don't like us. Leave us alone."

Learn about the intimidating tactics and brilliant marketing techniques being used by "gay rights" activists - read David Kupelian's controversial blockbuster, "The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom."

The woman said her group had merely organized a peaceful fellowship and wasn't there to condemn homosexuals.

"We hadn't preached," she said. "We hadn't evangelized. We worshipped God in peace, and we were about to die for it."

"Their rights were respected," Joe Schmitz, an opponent of Prop. 8, told San Francisco's KTVU Channel 2. "They got a chance to go ahead and pray on the sidewalk, and I had the opportunity to express my freedom of speech, which is telling them to get out of my neighborhood."

The following day, approximately 20,000 people marched in San Francisco to protest passage of California's Proposition 8 protecting traditional marriage. Several thousand people conducted other protests around the nation in cities such as Manhattan, Chicago and Los Angeles. According to reports, many protesters feeling emboldened by the recent election chanted, "Yes we can." - a slogan popularized by the Barack Obama campaign.

Does San Fransisco remind anybody of Sodom?

Remember what happened to Sodom?

One of the unfortunately general qualities of fascist leftists groups (queers, TEC, feminists etc) is the "love" they exhibit toward those who don't agree with them. Their message seems to be "we have a right to exercise our perverted rights but you don't have a right to protest - that belongs only to us".

San Francisco as Sodom? Sure. It The "big quake" can't come soon enough.

The gay organizers are extremely fortunate that someone wasn't hurt or killed.

If this HAD happened, the lawsuits would have been horrendous, and NO amount of claiming "self defense" against "discrimination" would get them off.
The prison terms would have been very lengthy, and a second degree murder conviction carries with it a term of twenty years to life in this state.

A manslaughter conviction is no picnic, either, and the LBGT crowd needs to be reminded of that fact!

I speak as a former Grand Juror.

What does anyone expect from San Francisco? A city that has already been condemned and has one of the highest populations of sodomites. We can only remember what happened at the original Sodom and where the Sodomite name came from. Now all we have to do is get a man named Lot to move there.

Genesis 18:

23 And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24 Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it? 25 Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
26 So the LORD said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.”
27 Then Abraham answered and said, “Indeed now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: 28 Suppose there were five less than the fifty righteous; would You destroy all of the city for lack of five?”
So He said, “If I find there forty-five, I will not destroy it.”
29 And he spoke to Him yet again and said, “Suppose there should be forty found there?”
So He said, “I will not do it for the sake of forty.”
30 Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Suppose thirty should be found there?”
So He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
31 And he said, “Indeed now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: Suppose twenty should be found there?”
So He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty.”
32 Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?”
And He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.” 33 So the LORD went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.


There must be at least 10 left in San Fran. They sure don't live in the Castro district.

Brothers and sisters:

Christians should not be wishing the big quake, fire from heaven to destroy, or any other kind of judgemental and hateful thing. Rather, we should pray for them, build relationships of trust with them, and show them the kind of love that Jesus exemplified in his ministry. The fire of the Holy Spirit is the only kind of fire we should wish to descend upon the Castro, or any other gay ghetto. It is the fire of the Holy Spirit that can heal those who are broken, and change lives. Foremost, we should pray, pray, pray...for these poor souls who so desperately need the saving touch of Jesus.

Thanks Fr Greg, you took the words out of my mouth, and although I live in Aussie, this is what I have been praying for some time, as we have a close cousin to SF......Sydney and the Mardi Gra

I believe the Christians who were assaulted WERE praying for the homosexuals.

I believe Isaac is right. In fact, that is WHY they were assaulted.

It is not as if the Castroites were ignorant of what was going on. Instead they were purposely rejecting and driving out those praying for them.

What is left to do for such as behave like this?

Let the law take its course, and prosecute everyone responsible.

So is anyone surprised? OK, maybe Mark Andrus and our gracious bishop Mary Gray-Reeves.

Has anyone noticed the wildfires in southern California? Yes, the State has burst into flames and, yes, this is the modern-day Sodom.

Causidicus, you are correct that there are a few of us left in the State and in the Episcopal Church. We're missionaries hanging around just in case the whole "gay thing" doesn't work out for the TEC.

Pray for us.

MarkP, +Marc Andrus is a disgrace, and his performance in the recent Gay Pride Parade in San Francisco proves that beyond doubt!

Judging by what I've been told and from what I've been able to gather, +Mary Gray-Reeves is undoubtedly a very nice lady personally, but her instructions to her clergy leave me with many doubts about her as a clergyperson; further reinforcing my belief and that of so many others that NO woman should ever be ordained to the priesthood.

You guys go ahead and go watch the parade and the fire, I have always thought that to be seen in SF was to be considered one of those, as you will be.

Not me.....the only time I go there is when I need to get to the airport! Otherwise, I avoid it like the plague!

I can't do anything about the fires, though....except to pray for the firefighters and the people who've lost everything. Some of them are friends of our family.
