Decadence Unleashed In St. Louis
Written by Angela Michael June 27, 2006

St. Louis Gay Pridefest draws over 80,000 people June 25, 2006. Over 100 floats in Sunday's two hour Pridefest parade. Over a dozen civil unions performed by a Metropolitan Community Church pastorette.

“Truth is Hate to Those Who Hate the Truth.” (on the back of our OSA T-shirt)
John 7:7 “The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify that what it does is evil.”

Debauchery at its most vile spilled into the streets and into Tower Grove Park in St Louis for a two-day Sodomfest. Lawlessness was the order of the day yet the only ones being harassed and threatened with arrest were gentle Christians. Two men who traveled over three hours carrying wooden crosses were ordered to keep moving by local sodomite police when they tried to lay their crosses down and rest. One Christian knelt in prayer and was threatened with being tossed in the paddy-wagon.

Bro. John, a faithful sidewalk counselor at Hopeless abortion mill, preached the Word on the church steps of Messiah Lutheran Church . The church decided it would be better to just get along with this event rather than confront it. They locked the congregation inside and let them out the back door when services ended and the parade began. A parade official recognized us and came up and asked me if there was going to be any trouble . I said, “We're here to deliver God's mail.” The crowd began cursing and screaming. The smell of cigarettes and liquor permeated the stench in this camp.

Two homosexuals stopped and began screaming up at us, “Give us your children so we can convert them!” Another man ran up and yelled at Bro. John (John is black), “Where were you 30 years ago when we were fighting for your rights?” He replied, “You are enslaved to your sin and we are fighting for your very lives and souls.”

Actress Morgan Fairchild was the Grand Marshall. The city's elite were taking part. The fire and police chief, the Mayor and District Attorney attorney, aldermen, political hopefuls and corporations like Starbucks and Borders Bookstores joined the drag queens and kings. When we saw St. Louis officials, I went to the frontlines of the parade, walked into the parade, and rebuked the police chief. I shook Chief Mokwa's hand and said, “I rebuke you in the Name of Jesus. You are breaking God's law. Sodomy is still against the law and this is an abomination.” The expression on his face testified against him. Isaiah 3:9 “The look on their face testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom ; they do not hide it…”

Professing Catholic Mayor Slay was next. Again I walked into the parade and rebuked the mayor: “I rebuke you in the Name of Jesus Christ. You should be arrested. You are an abomination to the Catholic Church!” He replied, “Is that so? Well that's great!”

Floats paraded by us filled with near-naked men and women, wearing nothing more than grease, leather, and other things (not to be mentioned). There was open mouth kissing and groping. Young children marched in the parade gyrating and grabbing their private areas while the crowds cheered for more. Churches embracing this abomination were MCC, Episcopalian, United Church of Christ, and St. Pius, St. Margaret of Scotland, Trinity Church, Gays, Lesbians, Bi-sexual, Trans-gender Catholics, the list goes on.

The crowd looked over at us and began yelling, “Thank you Jesus!” We cried out, “Jesus can set you free. You can be delivered.” A drunk young man yelled at us, “My mother delivered me!” Applause and laughter came from the spectators. Old fat men marched down the street holding young boys' hands and kissing.

As Bro. John continued to preach, confrontation after confrontation would ensue as those who were angry would storm up to us, which provided a tremendous opportunity for the Christians to share the Gospel.

The homosexual community believes that they are a society of victims. They were blaming God for everything. “Where was God when…?” And that's why they turned to the homosexual lifestyle- because they were victims. We tried to explain to them, you don't have to be a victim, you can be a victor. You don't have to participate in this sin. We're all sinners, nobody's perfect, but that doesn't give us the right to keep sinning and to drown in our sin. We love you, not luv, enough to tell you the truth.

One elderly man blamed God because he couldn't get his arthritis medication filled. One lesbian woman asked, “Where was God when my mom died at 47? Where was God when I was being raped?” We were distracted by the noise coming from the crowd cheering as the bestiality floats were rolling by full of men dressed in leather, spikes, and animal heads. Psalms 12:8 “The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.”

“We're all going to hell, we're all going to hell !” Then they chanted, “You're going to hell! You're going to hell!” The float that drew the loudest applause was the NARAL and Planned Parenthood float.

The public proclamation was hated and despised. It always is. They taunted, they extended their middle finger, they genuflected, they did everything that is unseemly, but they hated it when love came to confront them. They hated it when love came to save them. One man said, “Go home and get a life,” and another, “Maybe God will give you laryngitis.”

After the parade had ended, we gathered together in prayer. A few of us went into the park and began videotaping the lewd and lascivious behavior we were witnessing.

Truth saves lives. And you know what? That's what we were called to do. Plow up the ground with the truth of the Gospel. That's what we did at the St. Louis Decadence event. We did what God called us to do. If there had just been more of us out there, wouldn't that be awesome? How about if we had praise and worship teams singing and everybody just giving them heaven, loving these lost souls into the Kingdom? 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
