Once again, and contrary to what they claim, we see that the gay and lesbian
community is not just a peaceful group of people who wish to be left alone
so that they can live their lives as they please. They are a radical group
of activists who are using legal means, and who won't be happy until their
sinful lifestyle is accepted by society, and Bible-believing Christians are
either shut up, or locked up. The article below is more proof that this is
so.


Street Preacher Charged for Saying Homosexuality a Sin

A Christian street preacher in Britain will stand trial for telling a
passerby -- in earshot of a policewoman -- that God views homosexuality as a
sin.

Police arrested Dale McAlpine, a 42-year-old Baptist, under Britain's Public
Order Act 1986, which forbids "using threatening, abusive or insulting words
... tending to and causing harassment, alarm or distress."

McAlpine told The Daily Telegraph newspaper that he was arrested after a
part-time police officer said she heard him reciting a list of "sins"
against God, including blasphemy, drunkenness and same-sex relationships.

The preacher denied mentioning homosexuality, but he did concede he had told
a passing shopper that it was a sin in the eyes of God.

At a magistrates court hearing in Workington, England, on Friday, McAlpine
pleaded not guilty to the public order offense charge but was arraigned for
trial at an unspecified date.

"My freedom was taken away on the hearsay evidence of someone who disliked
what I said, and I was charged under a law that doesn't apply," he said.

The newspaper report said McAlpine was fingerprinted, given a DNA swab and
retina scan, and was locked in a police cell for seven hours on April 20.

"I am not homophobic," he insisted, "but sometimes I do say
that the Bible
says homosexuality is a crime against the Creator."

McAlpine's arrest comes days after a top British judge was criticized for
ruling that Christian beliefs are not entitled to special protection under
the laws of the nation.
