'Jesus is a homo' Homosexuals Disrupt Church Service
Using megaphones for amplification they shouted epithets at those entering the service such as “Jesus is a homo”. They also mockingly carried an upside down pink cross.
In a news release, Bash Back referred to Mt. Hope Church as “a deplorable anti-queer mega church.” They further elaborated their disdain for the Christian community at Mt. Hope on their web site.
This past Sunday, during a Worship Service at the Church, a group of loud and intentionally disruptive homosexual activists stood outside of the sanctuary of Mount Hope dressed in strange pink attire. Using megaphones for amplification, they shouted epithets at those entering the service such as “Jesus is a homo”.They also mockingly carried an upside down pink cross.
Reports filed with the Eaton County Sheriff’s office indicate that other demonstrators had staged a further action intended to disrupt the Sunday Worship at Mount Hope. Dressed in clothing which would not have indicated their intention, they entered into the sanctuary and were seated with the community. Then, in an orchestrated manner, they left their seats, pulled fire alarms, distributed anti-Christian literature and stormed the Pastor’s pulpit waving a rainbow colored flag and shouting “It’s Okay To Be Gay! Bash Back”.
The organization behind this action is called “Bash Back”. They describe themselves as “a radical trans/queer/anarcha-feminist group” committed to “fight for liberation while rejecting all forms of state power.” In a news release, Bash Back referred to Mt. Hope Church as “a deplorable anti-queer mega church.” They further elaborated their disdain for the Christian community at Mt. Hope on their web site in these words: “The Mount Hope Church is a deplorable, anti-queer mega-church in Lansing, Michigan. The church works to institutionalize transphobia and homophobia through several repulsive projects including organized “ex-gay” conferences and so-called “hell houses”, which depict queers, trannies and womyn who seek abortions as the horrors. Mt. Hope is complicit in the repression of queers in Michigan and beyond.”
The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, the nation's largest Catholic civil rights organization led by Bill Donohue, Ph.D., has called on the Attorney General of State of Michigan to institute an investigation. The Catholic League issued the following release:
GAY FASCISTS STORM CHURCH
On Sunday, November 9, a band of about 30 gays stormed a church in Lansing, Michigan. Some were well dressed and were stationed inside Mount Hope Church; others were outside dressed in pink and black. The group of self-described homosexual anarchists, Bash Back!, claims the evangelical church is guilty of “transphobia and homophobia.”
The protesters outside the church were beating on buckets, shouting “Jesus was a homo” on a megaphone and carrying an upside-down pink cross. Fire alarms went off inside the church, protesters stormed the pulpit and a huge rainbow-colored flag was unfurled with the inscription, “IT’S OKAY TO BE GAY! BASH BACK!” The church was vandalized, obscenities were shouted and worshippers were confronted. There were no arrests.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue addressed this issue today:
“The real story here is the refusal of the mainstream media to cover what is surely one of the most disturbing events of 2008. If an organized group of gay bashers stormed a gay church, there is not a single sentient person in the United States who wouldn’t know about it.
“This is urban fascism come to America’s heartland. It must be quickly stopped before it gets out of control. We are contacting Mike Cox, the Attorney General of Michigan, calling for an investigation.”
We join with our friends at the Catholic League and encourage our readers to contact Attorney General Mike Cox at miag@michigan.gov

Because I don't want to get involved in a long debate, I can only say one thing. Liberals are staunchly anti-fascist. Neo-fascists are staunchly anti-liberal. Fascism is not a synonym for generic authoritarianism. Fascism is a specific ideology, and an anti-liberal and anti-individual one at that.
When we've gone through "legit" channels for decades and yet are consistantly opposed by radical fundamentalists who enjoy tax free status, don't be surprised if the oppressed strike back. I don't condone this action, but I can't say it wasn't deserved. I'm amused that leftists are being called "fascists". Fascism is an extreme rightwing concoction. Think Benito Mussolini. The fascists are anti-gay.
Wow! Kind of reminds me of Jesus cleansing the temple! Way to go!
1) You can't be an anarchist and a fascist...
2) They were probably wrong to do what they did, but anyone who says that homosexuality is a lot worse. Stop hating
3) historical jesus would have never discriminated against gays...people like the commenters under me have serious problems...homosexuals aren't hurting anybody, and the whole world isn't gonna become gay Paul

While I realize that homosexuality is no more of a sin than drinking to excess or taking drugs or stealing, God forgive me--I find the lifestyle abhorrent.
Homosexuality is not supported by the laws of nature. It does not lead to a family and could lead to the extinction of the species. The laws of nature also teach that you cannot divorce your children. Jesus teachings on divorce are in line with the laws of nature, in other words evolution is in line with the teachings of Jesus.
In other words Homosexuality has no support whatsoever from evolution or Jesus teachings. Without support from evolution they have no leg to stand on.
Those who did this are wrong.I don't have to except homosexuality. If you are homosexual you have the same problem that single people have which means that you aren't supposed to have sexual relations. The only thing they did was to bring attention to themselves which made them look like idiots.
now,lets be honest.Wouldnt it make anyone irritated if a bunch of people with feathers all over their heads and pink hair came dancing into their church service?
where were the ushers?the ushers are supposed to not let people like that inside the churches.and if these clowns came in my church dressed like that I would call the cops.
I am a gay man, I have been to many Gay Pride Parades where there were religious groups yelling, waving horrible signs, and saying we were going to Hell and saying they hoped we all died of AIDS. Although I do not agree with Bash Back's tactics, I understand their frustration.
