Pushy Spiteful Christians: Highfield Road Gospel Hall



Incredibly pushy Christians, right here in Toronto.

Seems this happy little band likes to stand outside of their gay neighbour's houses and tell them what sinners they are*.

So the neighbours had enough, and told this traveling show of hate to take a hike.

*This part of the story may not be accurate, as they may just be preaching in the street regularly and not targeting any house in particular:

We appreciate the action of our neighbours .THX. Although we were not present at the time we feel the need to clear up a possible misunderstanding. We have lived on the street for 13 years. Though we don't align with the outdoor sermon it has never been directly targeted towards us. They have conducted these sermons on our street numerous years prior to us moving here. We just want to ensure the focus of this is public church sermons (not targeting a gay couple) .

Please call the church at: 416-469-8069 and (politely) complain.

certainly not a combative group, nor were they preaching at gays nor about gays.

The men were standing passively on the curb when the camera arrived. The group left when conflict got tense. They are certainly not burning crosses nor are they trying to drive people from their neighborhood.

They are trying to get a message out that was not received well, nor understood. See what they believe at www.gospelhall.org

They sure got a message out, just not the one they'd hoped for

These people should probably be spending more time loving themselves and their families--wait they have probably condemned them too--no wonder they have to wander the streets looking for attention!
They are thugs dressed in suits
