<description>Anti-gay Christian activists are crashing services at churches in Ohio that welcome, affirm, tolerate, etc., gays and lesbians. A conservative Christian values group has been interrupting services at two central Ohio churches to protest their support for homosexuality. Minutemen United vowed to attend services every Sunday. The group started its crusade when First Baptist Church in Granville hosted &quot;Love Makes a Family,&quot; a traveling exhibit by the Family Diversity Project showing photos of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families. The night the exhibit opened in July, members of Minutemen United stood outside and protested the exhibit and the church&apos;s open...</description>

<title>Comment by patrick</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Gee....the other day there was a post at SLOG about the hopeless meaningless pointless task of protesting the Iraq war...and the comments all supported the folly of engaging in such an act.</p>

<p>As long as the religious demonstration is planned at a time when most people are conveniently able to participate and feel like they will be most disruptive and not crowded by socialists and Palestinians then its a GO!</p>

<p>Its too bad the Christian zealots don't let the aesthetics stop them from making a stink.</p>]]></description>

<p>i discovered the second church is one just a couple of blocks away from me.  they have a giant banner up that says "open to all;" it always warms my heart when i pass by even though i'm not a church-goer myself.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Thel</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Even more fun would be to have a bunch of folks innocently visit the appointed church for services that morning...and when the protest began, for them to participate from the inside. Make the churchgoers mistrustful of newcomers ever after, thereby screwing with their goal of ever-expanding attendance and membership, perhaps.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Mr. Poe</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Are we actually going to plan something awesome? I love the idea of throwing condoms at a Church. I love the idea of throwing anything at a Church. Condoms, diaphragms, colt mags, joints, beers, rocks, boulders, pip...um, okay, maybe not that. But still.</p>

<p>Condoms & sex ed pamphlets would be sufficient.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@ Mr Poe, I am all for it.  But anytime we tried to protest stuff on Slog (Club Lagoon anyone?) no one seemed to really want to do it. (they had a thing with a guy)</p>

<p>Think of it as on line hook ups: everyone is all into it until you mention a place and time.  </p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Sweetie</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I think it would be fun to go do some kind of protest at Mars Hill Church.  Somehow sneak past all of their security guards posted at the doors and then during the services start making inappropriate sexual noises or something.  Maybe even fly Felicia Fellatio up so she could run down the aisle to jump up on stage to squat down and let the "bizness" just blow in the holy winds of disbelief!</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Original Andrew</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Cato the Younger Younger,</p>

<p>Oh sure - it's all my fault. Did you know that my apathy also caused the LA Riots and Hurricane Katrina?</p>

<p>A few more of these and I'll have my very own "Department of It's All My Fault" column.</p>

<p>I'm not apathetic - I'm realistic. I'm focusing on areas where I can actually make a difference, like gay rights. For example, I went to Olympia in February for Equality Day and asked my legislators to pass the Comprehensive Sex Ed and Domestic Partnership bills. Oh, sweet success!! We don't have marriage yet but I'll go back every year until we do, and I’ve met my state legislators and their staff members.</p>

<p>I also vote in every election and give money to politicians I support and organizations that I believe in, like Lambda Legal, and encourage others to do the same.</p>

<p>How about you?</p>]]></description>
