Antigay 'Rally' Begets Ridiculous Rhetoric; Surprises No One

September 06, 2007 06:02 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

A two-person antigay protest at the University of Iowa turned bizarre after the two men reportedly blamed the September 11 attacks on homosexuals and said the tornado that struck Iowa City in spring 2006 were caused by abortion clinics in the town, according to the Daily Iowan. Then one of the men named himself a saint (St. Dan, if you were wondering.) A large number of counterprotesters surrounded the pair, and Bible verses were exchanged throughout. We'll trade one Matthew 7:1 for a Leviticus 18:22, thankyouverymuch. —Alison Go
