“Minneapolis parks, Pride tussle over anti-gay group”

Minnesota Independent: “The park board has given the OK to Brain and Lois Johnson to distribute the Bibles, saying it is merely standing up for free speech. … The Johnsons had put pressure on the park board when they enlisted the help of the Alliance Defense Fund, a James Dobson–affiliated religious right legal organization based in Arizona. The group has defended numerous cases of anti-gay protesters crossing legal lines to denounce LGBT people, including a similar case in New York. In a complaint to the Minneapolis Park Board dated April 5, ADF called Twin Cities Pride a ‘festival devoted to the toleration of homosexual conduct.’”
