'Street preachers' with controversial signs draw large crowd on Univ. of North Texas campus

[TexasTowelie]

DENTON -- About 20 self-described "street preachers," some of whom held anti-gay and anti-Black Lives Matter signs, caused a stir Thursday on the University of North Texas campus, where more than 300 students gathered to counter protest or watch the ordeal.

The preachers had been attending the National Street Preachers Conference in Arlington, according to two preachers at the campus. One of the men, 26-year-old Sebastian Bryan, described the group as "regular Bible-believing Christians" who wanted to show people "their need for a savior to call people to repentance," he said.

At least two signs included Bible verses, while others included provocative phrases such as "Every Muslim is a Jihadist" and "AIDS: Judgement or Cure?"

Here’s the ruckus at UNT near the library mall — “free speech area.” Protestors with anti-gay and anti-Black Lives Matter signs arguing with students.

The affair, which started about 11:30 a.m. along Highland Street near Willis Library, was mostly peaceful. More than a dozen UNT and Denton police officers were on hand but didn't arrest or detain anyone in the area, according to university officials. Some conversations among students and preachers became heated, but the crowd slowly dissipated after three or four hours.
