Anti-LGBTQ Hate Preacher Fights Restraining Order

April 23, 2023 Christianists, Hate Groups

The Christian Post reports:

A street preacher faces the possibility of arrest if he protests the activities of an Oklahoma LGBT advocacy organization online or in person after being hit with a restraining order for posting about a lesbian couple’s church wedding ceremony on Facebook.

Attorneys with The Rutherford Institute, a Virginia-based nonprofit civil liberties group, are asking the Oklahoma Supreme Court to overturn a five-year restraining order against outspoken street preacher Rich Penkoski, who runs the online organization Warriors for Christ and protests drag shows nationwide.

In one post, Penkoski shared the church’s public photo of the same-sex wedding of Sheena Hayes and Morgan Lawrence-Hayes, the executive board president for Oklahomans for Equality – Bartlesville. In seeking a restraining order, the couple claimed the posts were threatening and harassing.

Penkoski, whose posts about the couple included bible verses calling for executing homosexuals, denies that his posts were threatening.

If his name rings a bell, that’s because he appeared here in 2020 when he threatened to sue a Tennessee public school district because they sent his daughter home when she refused to change out of a “Homosexuality Is A Sin” t-shirt.

Also in 2020, he joined notorious nutbag Chris “I Want To Marry My Laptop” Sevier in suing Washington DC’s mayor over the city’s Black Lives Matter mural.
