Anyone here from Grand Rapids?
LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY morchades)
It was a fundamentalist Christian group peaching at a Pagan Pride Day. Alliance Defense Fund (surprise surprise) is providing the attorny, and they're suing the city because the cops made them leave. Here's ADF's write-up, and the comments on WitchVox tell another story. The Pagan Group is seeking witnesses:
Now, hear us out…again we thank you & we appreciate your support, if you want to support those wonderful officers, the city of Grand Rapids & Pagan Pride, please email any & all letters to us, we will keep them until needed. Right now as this stands, this is an issue with the Preachers & the City of Grand Rapids, NOT Pagan Pride.
If we want to continue to host a Pagan Pride in Grand Rapids, we need to remain calm & wait until those items are needed. If this blows up, the city may change the way that they allow parks to run. A point to make here is this, the papers have not been filled with the courts yet & who knows, when a judge sees this, s/he may dismiss it on the spot.
We are in contact with our attorney & we have been advised to not speak to anyone about this, so please, support us with the letters & do not, I repeat PLEASE DO NOT just start sending in letters to the press, city attorney or anyone else that I failed to mention.
