Anti-Prop. 8 Mob Watch: Christians in San Francisco’s Castro district

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 17, 2008 04:23 PM

Watch gay activists hound Christians in San Francisco’s Castro district:

Even some left-wing blogs are starting to realize this is bad p.r. for their side.

From the YouTube user’s description of the confrontation, which got physical:

After just singing and worshiping God for a while, Roger decided that we should all hold hands in a circle and continue singing. So we did.

Someone (Actually a person who came up and hugged and kissed some of us who he knew from the past) convinced some people that we were there to protest against the no on 8 campaign.

Then some guy who was dressed up like one of the sisters (The sisters of perpetual indulgence is a group of men who dress up like nuns and call themselves the spiritual authority of the Castro.) took a curtain-type thing (Which I think they use to curse people) and wrapped it around us.

Then a crowd started gathering. We began to sing “Amazing Grace”, and basically sang that song the whole night. (At some points we also sang “Nothing but the Blood of Jesus” and “Oh the Blood of Jesus”.) At first, they just shouted at us, using crude, rude, and foul language and calling us names like “haters” and “bigots”. Since it was a long night, I can’t even begin to remember all of the things that were shouted and/or chanted at us. Then, they started throwing hot coffee, soda and alcohol on us and spitting (and maybe even peeing) on us. Then, a group of guys surrounded us with whistles, and blasted them inches away from our ears continually. Then, they started getting violent and started shoving us. At one point a man tried to steal one of our Bibles. Chrisdene noticed, so she walked up to him and said “Hey, that’s not yours, can you please give it back?”. He responded by hitting her on the head with the Bible, shoving her to the ground, and kicking her. I called the cops, and when they got there, they pulled her out of the circle and asked her if she wanted to press charges. She said “No, tell him I forgive him.”

Afterwards, she didn’t rejoin us in the circle, but she made friends with one of the people in the crowd, and really connected heart to heart. Roger got death threats. As the leader of our group, people looked him in the eyes and said “I am going to kill you.”, and they were serious. A cop heard one of them, and confronted him. (This part is kinda graphic, so you should skip the paragraph if you don’t want to be offended.) It wasn’t long before the violence turned to perversion. They were touching and grabbing me, and trying to shove things in my butt, and even trying to take off my pants – basically trying to molest me. I used one hand to hold my pants up, while I used the other arm to hold one of the girls. The guys huddled around all the girls, and protected them.

And here’s KTVU coverage of the incident.

Soul-fixer, where art thou?

    how something can come from nothing.

    There was NEVER “nothing”. There was plenty before what we call “life” began.

    Matter and energy come in many forms and change through various processes into other things and other forms of energy.

    To say, for example, that snow appearing on the ground one winter morning when there was none the night before is evidence of “CREATION” by some “GOD” seems kinda crazy.

    What was “before” WAS something, just not something YOU think was important.

    To say that humans are “something” and what was before was “nothing” is just downright foolish.

    After humans are extinct, something else will come along and become the dominant life form… and may then call YOU “nothing”.

    Dawkins said life might have been ‘seeded’ here by aliens (would they have been intelligent aliens? and the aliens came from?) or on the backs of crystals… (and the crystals formed life how?)

    Ben Stein repeatedly asked him how the first life came about. Dawkins kept saying, “Nobody knows, nobody knows.”

    Well, if nobody knows, then how can anyone rule out Intelligence? Dawkins looked like a complete idiot. I guess that’s why he’s anti-intelligence, because clearly he has none.

    Doubly wrong.

    I challenge you to show me where the phrase “separation of church and state” is “enshrined the in the constition”. You can’t. You won’t even find the word “separation” anywhere in the Constitution.

    The 1st Amendment limits Congress, not the church. The 1st Amendment is about protecting the rights of the church in its varied forms of expression: speech, press, assembly, and petition.

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    The Constitution restricts Congress from establishing religion, but not from endorsing it. Our Congress has endorsed Christianity since the opening prayer of the very first session of Congress.

    If you want an example of an act of Congress that truly is unconstitutional under the first amendment, here’s one.

    And to your second point of “gays are stripped of pre-existing rights”… Sorry, no sale. Gays did not have a pre-existing right to state-recognized marriage. You have twisted the truth 180 degrees.

    Here’s A Little History Lesson for you.

    Look in the mirror once in a while.

    Indeed, those calling others “bigot”, “hater”, and “racist” are usually the ones who are most guilty.

    There really is a culture war (I call it Spiritual Warfare) going on against the Judeo-Christian values that are the bedrock foundation of our society. Whether the battlefield is gay marriage, evolution, or even global warming, the goal of the left is the same: replace God’s truth with lies.

    1) If you believe in Gay marriage, you reject the Bible’s calling homosexuality an abomination.

    2) If you believe in evolution, you reject the Biblical account of Jesus.

    3) If you believe in global warming, you believe humans are a problem, and you reject the Bible’s authority when it says, “be fruitful and multiply”.

    The goal in all of these examples, and others, is to raise generations of voters who reject the Bible and the truth.

    When one rejects the truth, they will accept any lie.

    And that “De-moral-ization” is the first step to losing everything we hold dear in this country. It’s been going on for decades, and now we’ve moved through destablization and are deep in crisis and going deeper. We are on the threshold of Obama taking this country to Communist Normalization unless the Supreme Court requires him to prove he meets the Constitutional prerequisite of being a Natural Born and lifetime Citizen of the United States.

    While I’m spot on with you on the issue of gay marriage, you’d likely exclude me and a lot of other Christians on the last two -

    Evolution. My trouble with evolution is with those who proclaim it “irrefutable fact”, in Omu’s own words. That smacks of an article of faith, as evolution is only a theory. That being said, many Catholics, Orthodox, and other Christians see no problem with the Creation account in Genesis as being more allegorical – in fact, St. Augustine and some of the other Church Fathers saw it as such. We believe that God made the universe, and made our first parents (one set of parents for the human race has scientific support, BTW), and that our first parents messed things up for the rest of us.

    Global Warming. I have no trouble acknowledging that temperatures may have gotten warmer. I do think it has more to do with sunspots and longer-term weather cycles than anything else. Besides which, even if humans are causing climate problems, do you really think the UN will go after the chief polluters? You know the answer as well as I do.

    If you believe Jesus Christ is who the Bible says he is, then at what point does the Bible record of the Genealogy of Jesus Christ stop being true? Which of the people in that list were real people, and which people are merely allegorical?

    I should have been more clear on Global Warming… I, like you, believe that the climate does change (it’s cyclical), and has more to do with sunspots and longer-term weather cycles than anything else. It’s Anthropogenic (man-made) Global Warming that is a lie.

    Indeed. Sunspot activity is at a low (practically no sunspots at all) and
    that has resulted in Global COOLING, not Global Warming.

    Man is not a significant influence on Global temperatures.
    It’s arrogant for people to think we are.

    Man, you gotta be kidding me. I suppose that the perpetrator of this sexual assault is not currently in a cell?

    The term ‘gay marriage’ is an oxymoron, and I’m really tired of special interest groups attempting to change the definitions of words to make themselves feel better about their lifestyles.

    I don’t give one rat’s fart if gays want to enter into civil contracts with one another and maintain committed relationships and be treated as family members for the purposes of hospital visitation, inheritance, et al. As long as both parties are consenting adults, their lifestyles and life choices (and yes, choosing to commit to another person legally is a life choice) are between them and God, but if the consenting adults are of the same gender, it can never be marriage.

    Marriage is what it is. Just because a bunch of hysterical al Gayda wackos choose not to operate in the realm of reality doesn’t change it.

    So, it’s okay for Christians who just robbed the rights of gay people in a cruel and disgusting fashion to parade around in a gay district?

    Wow. So much here. Let’s parse your comment…

    So, it’s okay for Christians who just robbed…

    The Bible teaches us that stealing is wrong. So what possessions of those people were taken from them?

    …the rights of gay people…

    Which rights were those? The right to marry a person of the opposite sex? They already have that right. If you’re referring to some other right, please site the document or source for that right. Otherwise you’re just making stuff up.

    …in a cruel…

    What distress was inflicted? Are you truly equating passing a state constitutional amendment to torture or barbarism? Or is this just a “drama queen” moment?

    …and disgusting fashion…

    Praying for someone is disgusting? I find the homosexual lifestyle disgusting. It is disgusting that humans would give themselves so willingly over to a sinful, animal-like sexual lifestyle, identify themselves by their abhorrent actions, and attack others who merely wish to free them from the addiction of their destructive lifestyle. It is disgusting to allow someone to drown in their sin and not offer them the lifeline to save them.

    …to parade around…

    Whoa there cowboy! Talking about parades in a strongly homosexual portion of SF might earn you an “R” rating just for the reference! Those “parades” are horribly grotesque outings flaunting their sexual depravity. To use those words, with the stories context, is well… projection.

    … in a gay district

    So, what you’re telling me is that Christians SHOULDN’T go to areas where the Word is needed. But that isn’t what Christ commanded. He told us to go and preach the good news (the Great Commandment). If it’s a choice between making people who are drowning in their sin “uncomfortable” and doing what Christ commanded, and throwing them a lifeline… I’ll follow Christ’s commands any day.

    And at least for now… I was still under the impression that our 1st amendment rights (REAL rights, not imagined ones) were still valid.

    Christians may have gone to the neighborhood, but it was the homosexuals who came out of their houses to attack them.

    And in the latter days, people will call good evil, and evil good…
