Gay Loggers Reach Goal, To Protest As Planned


By DANIEL PERSON Chronicle Staff Writer

The Green Coalition of Gay Loggers for Jesus will march on Main Street as planned July Fourth, the organizer of the group said Thursday evening.

Organizer Brian Leland had set a 5 p.m. deadline Thursday to reach his fundraising goal of $1,100, the amount of money the city of Bozeman estimates it will cost it to shut down the downtown thoroughfare for the morning protest.

Leland said Thursday evening that he had raised about $1,500. The $400 difference will be given to the local food bank, he said.

The Green Coalition of Gay Loggers for Jesus was formed to protest how the city went about granting the Bozeman Tea Party’s request for a permit march down Main Street on July Fourth.

City staff initially denied the Bozeman Tea Party’s request to cordon off the street for two hours while they protested government spending, the growing national debt and taxes. But following pleas from members of the Tea Party, the Bozeman City Commission recommended 4-1 that staffers reverse their decision, which they did.

Leland said the city violated open meeting laws since the discussion was not publicly noticed. Also, he said it is hypocritical for a group to protest government spending while forcing the government to incur costs n thus his emphasis on raising the $1,100 before marching.

Those ba$+4rds just won't quit, will they? If it wasn't for us Hemophiliac Homophobic Bowlers Cross-Dressing for Christ, they would be out of control by now.

Gay loggers for Jesus?
What an oxymoron that it.
Jesus don't like queers!

Now you need to grant equal time/space to Gay Jewish Loggers For Jesus. The "slippery slope" potential here if these groups get out of control is unbelievable. But Fah-bulous...

3:35,

Jesus loves everyone. It's bigots like you that have problems with people who are different than you.

Don't project your hate on Jesus. Jesus is the Son of God, and loves all of his father's creations.

It reads like this.
Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve

Strange how the media has trained us to break off in little kooky groups kind of goes against" United we stand divided we fall " But I think that's is the point and explains why we have the President we have.

Do these idiots read the bible before they put "Jesus" in their names. If they want rights and believe thats fine but maybe they should READ the bible before they claim God is okay with their actions.

To Each Their Own! LOL!

Yes, Jesus loves everyone, but homosexuals will not enter the kingdom of God!

Hey 3:41,
Queers are discusting! It is a mental disease that is contrary to biology.
You are not "different" you are discusting!

I hope that was an attempt at sarcasm. Because Jesus hung out with tax collectors and hookers. And His first miracle was turning water into wine.

Seems to me, His message is the ultimate in personal responsibility, and not so much about worrying about what your neighbors do.

3:35, Jesus made "queers," so I think he likes them as he does all of his children. And 5:45, what an unusually creative expression (Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve).

"Because Jesus hung out with tax collectors and hookers."

Keep in mind that after forgiving these sinniers, Jesus told them to "go and sin no more". I think a more accurate statement would be that Jesus hung out with fomer tax collectors and hookers. I don't think this was the reformed gay loggers for Jesus!

Well, 8:03, I'm married with two kids... so, are you saying heterosexuality is 'discusting' (sic) now?

Oh, and why is it that bigotry and poor spelling always go hand in hand? Is it a prerequisite that you have to be a dumb a$$ to be a bigot? Or are bigots just naturally dumb a$$es?

5:46, that's the most tired and cliche comment ever. Straight people think they're clever saying it, but it's very old and you're very backward.
