Evangelist sues Fort Worth over treatment at gay pride festival

[TexasTowelie]

The leader of a controversial evangelical group has filed a federal lawsuit suit against the city, former Police Chief Jeff Halstead and a sergeant, alleging that his civil rights were violated when he was banned from a sidewalk during a gay pride festival.

David Grisham, described in the lawsuit as an “Evangelical, born-again Christian” and a resident of Fritch, in the Texas Panhandle, is the leader of Repent Amarillo.

Grisham and Repent Amarillo have garnered headlines in the past for their tactics, including his failed attempt to burn the Quran during the 2010 anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, and he and his group’s videoing and protesting outside strip clubs, gay bars and sexually-oriented businesses.

Grisham ran for mayor of Amarillo in 2011 but garnered only 1 percent of the votes.

5. Grisham's Purported Tactics At Strip Clubs

Grisham's purported tactic at strip clubs was not confined to screaming at dancers and patrons, but also to write down the license plate numbers of cars in the parking lots and attempt to contact those cars' owners.

I have little sympathy for the born-again twerp and his entourage.
