Twin Cities Pride Festival imbroglio moves to court

Pioneer Press: “U.S. District Judge John Tunheim heard arguments from attorneys for the festival, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and from Brian Johnson, the man whose desire to hand out Bibles and tell festival-goers homosexuality is a sin started the imbroglio. … Johnson was not at the hearing, but was represented via telephone by [Nathan Kellum], a Memphis attorney for Alliance Defense Fund. … ‘They want to control the message,’ he said of Twin Cities Pride. ‘All he intends to do is walk through the park, talk to people and, if the situation arises, hand out Bibles. There’s no basis to control the conduct.’” | The Complaint
