Pastor Convicted Of Criminally Harassing Drag Events

August 22, 2024 Canada, Christianists

The CBC reports:

A Calgary pastor on trial for protesting at several library drag storytime events has been found guilty of criminal harassment and breaches of his bail conditions. Derek Reimer runs Mission 7, a street ministry. All of Reimer’s charges relate to protests of Reading With Royalty events hosted at Calgary Public Libraries. Reimer, 38, repeatedly referred to the program as “pervert grooming sessions” on social media and when he shouted into a microphone.

In the spring of 2023, Reimer was arrested three times in five weeks. The first incident took place Feb. 25, after he attended a Reading with Royalty event at the Seton Library and allegedly pushed to the front of the room, shouting homophobic and transphobic slurs at children and their parents. The pastor has a 12-year history of committing violent crimes in both Alberta and Manitoba, including convictions for animal abuse and aggravated assault.

Sentencing will be determined next week.

As you can see below, Reimer’s first arrest last year resulted in a money beg from a major right wing Canadian outlet.

Reimer’s previous non-drag related convictions resulted in sentences totally nearly three years.
