Near riot as angry Castro residents confront gay-converting Christians [video]
”Bigots out of the Castro! Shame on you! Where’s your Proposition now?”
A few of the printable chants and catcalls directed at a group of Christians singers who planted themselves in the middle of the Castro District of San Francisco. The dozen or so, mostly young members are said to be part of ”Joel’s Army,” and were surrounded and heckled by what appears to be a group of mostly gay men, angry about the passage of Proposition 8. One of the groups members claims that coffee was poured on them, a bible was snatched and that she was assaulted in the mayhem as they sung ”Amazing Grace” and the crowd sung ”We Shall Overcome.” (Joe My God)
