Anti-gay effort targets Freeport

[kweerwolf]

A Wisconsin pastor known for public action against homosexual lifestyles has peppered neighborhoods in Freeport with pamphlets, and some residents who found them on their property are angry.

Anti-gay pamphlets were deposited at homes in the city's Historic River District last week, some to the doors of homosexuals who believe they were targets of those who delivered them.

“This is terrible and I am outraged. This hurts,” said resident Randall Skeens. Skeens, 42, a community activist for cleaning up Freeport, said the two-sided glossy color handbill he found on his porch bearing anti-gay biblical references was written by Pastor Ralph Ovadal of Pilgrims Covenant Church, Monroe, Wis.

“I think the man needs to apologize. Christians are supposed to help communities, not destroy them. It is not fair to say we are ‘filthy, wicked or ungodly,” Skeens said. He also said he is celibate and that his lifestyle is between him and the Lord.

1. It's time for some people to start writing pamphlets

denouncing the Pilgrims Covenant Church . . .and taking a trip up to Monroe, Wisconsin to distribute to every home. Perhaps we can bastardize a few biblical verses and toss them around as spells describing the cult as satanic worshippers.
