Gay pride attracts christian witnessing
On Sunday, the annual homosexual pride event known as "Outfest" will take place on the streets of Philadelphia. Three years ago, 11 Christians with Repent America were arrested and jailed for witnessing at the annual taxpayer-funded event. Since then, a federal lawsuit has been filed against the city of Philadelphia and Philly Pride Presents, Inc. -- organizers of Outfest -- for violation of civil rights.
U.S. District Court Judge Lawrence Stengel ruled for the defendants in a summary judgment earlier this year, claiming the police were allowed to discriminate against the Christians out of safety concerns. However, Repent America director Michael Marcavage says although they may be arrested, Christians will be at Outfest on Sunday.
