You seem to be saying that Michael Brown's stepfather having had a relative killed by police and refusing to accept the grand jury decision in the case somehow makes a critical difference in the calls to have him arrested. I'm still not "getting it" as being relevant.

I haven't a clue what harm the "pastor" has encountered from gays. However, many Christians are on record as stating extreme hatred towards gays, as well as their religion being a "persecuted minority" (which is not true in the U.S., but appears to be elsewhere in the world)

The comment that this pastor made seems to be a form of terroristic threatening, given that gays are reportedly literally being stoned in some areas of the world in the same general timespan.
