The anti-gay bigots at The Article 8 Coalition are trying to rally their troops for this hearing.

I suggest that we do likewise.

Here is an excerpt from an email by the Article 8 Coalition:

<snip>

This incident continues to outrage people far and wide. David is continuing to get requests to appear on radio stations across America. People still can’t believe it. As you know by now, Lexington parent David Parker was arrested by Lexington police on April 27 and spent the night in jail over parental notification about teaching homosexuality in his son's kindergarten class. He is being charged with criminal trespassing, and is banned from all school property in the town. He must be supported!

As we mentioned last time, at the June 1 hearing, lesbian activists from Lexington came to intimidate Parker and his supporters, and influence news reporters. They will probably be back this time.

But this time, lots of David’s supporters will be there, too. We’re NOT going to be intimidated! WILL YOU BE THERE, TO SHOW SOLIDARITY?

View from the courtroom: Judge Robert McKenna argues with David Parker's lawyers, Jeffrey Denner & Neil Tassel.




On the courthouse steps. Second from left is Meg Soens, a prominent lesbian activist who taught a workshop, sponsored by the national homosexual organization GLSEN, titled, "Getting Gay and Lesbian Issues Included in Elementary School Staff Development, Curriculum Development, and the PTA." Note sign on right: "Lexington Community Action for Responsible Education and Safety" - a common propaganda message of the gay movement.



Inside, in the hallway outside courtroom. Activists (woman in green coat, and three others) surround reporters to make sure the "correct facts" are put in the news.



Outside. Activists (note woman in green coat) crowd around television reporter interviewing Parker's lawyer, Jeffrey Denner, to get their quotes in.



Getting on TV. Activists with signs also follow TV cameras around the building outside.

You can't videotape kids faces without explicit approval from parents. You can't disrupt a school function, either. The guy's a total a-hole.

would support someone who broke the law and put children at risk?

They're all hot and bothered about the 5 lesbians who showed up to protest A8, but they don't stop to think about the fool that was videotaping kids.

Thanks for sharing!
