Christian Pulls Gay From Wheelchair

TL;DR
Christian Street Church Crashes Protest.
Gay Woman Gets Pulled From Wheelchair.

=========================================

Adelaide, Australia.
May 14th, 2011

Police have been forced to intervene during a clash between the gay and lesbian community and a group of street preachers in Adelaide.

The violence broke out during a rally to mark International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.

The protest began peacefully with 150 members of the gay and lesbian community gathering to stage a mass wedding, calling for equal rights for gay marriage.

But when members of the Christian Street Church crashed the rally, tension escalated.

Protester Mel Lecke was pulled from her wheelchair.

"I think it's disgusting, you know we don't go and protest outside churches saying there is no God," she said.

Lesbian and church minister, Reverend Sue Wickham, says it was an awful end to a peaceful demonstration.

"I feel sad that it happens. I feel sad that there is still a vocal minority who always seem to be in the media who don't necessarily represent the view of the whole church," she said.

"Anyone who carries a banner that begins with the two words 'God Hates' is to my mind is not representing the Christ that Christians believe in."

The Christian Street Church's Damien Gloury says he was mobbed and hit.

"We're just preaching the Bible, we're quoting the bible and it says that homosexuality is a sin," he said.

"We thought we would go out and not try to disrupt because we do love everybody, it might sound like we're condemning people but we're not we're just preaching the Bible.

"We've been mobbed, we've been hit, our banners have been thrown down and these people have been hating our guts just for proclaiming the Christian message in this nation and that's what it's about," he said.

Protester James Vigos says the gay and lesbian community will not be disheartened by the violence.

"A very vocal minority can't stop progress," he said.

Police were called in and several street preachers were forcibly removed, but no one was arrested.

I'm Christian but I believe that being gay is the way people are born and it's not for us to question it. If you are gay but believe in God then I think your good, if you are gay and don't believe in God then you can believe anything you want. It's what being human is all about. Believe what you want to believe and I'll believe what I want to believe. I don't yell out scriptures in the bible because I don't want to disrespect anyone's religious views.

@akaKakashiFanatic By your definition, a good majority of those who profess to be christians are not true christians then, because it seems like a lot of them hate the gays. Cafeteria christians, you either believe all of it, or none of it, because there's a lot of things in the bible that modern christians, even the fundies ignore, like condoning slavery, cloth made from two different fibers, stoning disobedient children, and many others.

[Stentor7]

The video title is misleading, this is really an account of the demonstration & counter-demonstration by the fundies. We don't actually see anything but a bunch of hostile christians trying to impose their beliefs, the woman in question merely recounts what happened previously.

how low can these people get

[akaKakashiFanatic]

@TheAthenajones I'm sorry to say you probably haven't met a true Christian.

"Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister (referring to brothers & sisters in a spiritual sense, not by blood) is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And He has given us this command: anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister." -1 John 4:20-21

It makes me sad that these people have missed this point.
