NEWTON, N.C., May 27 (Reuters) - More than 1,000 people on Sunday
protested a small-town North Carolina Baptist minister's sermon calling
for gays and lesbians to be locked up behind an electric fence, a
fire-and-brimstone speech viewed hundreds of thousands of times on the
Internet since given two weeks ago.
Protesters gathered in front of the Justice Center in Newton waving signs with messages such as "Will God judge me for loving or hating?" and "Don't Fence Me In."
Some people dressed in rainbow colors, and entire families chanted "Preach Love Not Hate," angered by comments from Pastor Charles Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church in nearby Maiden during a sermon on May 13.
Worley told his congregation the Bible and God opposed homosexuality and that gay and lesbian people should be fenced in. Full Read
