Post titleAnti-Gay Preacher Charged for Noisy Pride Protest



from WickedGayBlog.com by WickedGayBlog.com
An anti-gay preacher in North Carolina says that a law limiting the noise level of public proclamations constitutes an infringement on his First Amendment rights of expression and religion.


Phillip "Flip" Benham was charged with exceeding the permissible decibel level as he harangued Pride revelers in Charlotte, NC, on Aug. 27. Benham was using a microphone and speaker as he condemned gays and read from the Bible. Police warned him once, and then, when the preacher exceeded the allowable noise limit once more, arrested him, local newspaper the Charlotte Observer reported on Aug. 29. Full story here!
