Hundreds Of Protestors To Line Gay Pride March Route in Spartanburg

»  Comments | Post a Comment

For the first time ever in Spartanburg, there will be a gay pride march this weekend.

Those marching will be doing so with Upstate Pride. They are expecting a couple of hundred marchers from all over the Upstate.

Conversely there about a dozen groups already getting their protest permits and it's expected they will have several hundred protestors along the march’s route.

Pastor Joey Wampler of Resurrection Baptist Church in Spartanburg says he got a protesting permit to defend the Lord and that homosexuality is a sin. He says he’s hoping the protesting bring some of the gay marchers into the church and leave their homosexual way of life.

Ashley Thomas from Upstate pride says she doesn’t understand why people don’t like the way she lives. She believes “love is love” and it shouldn’t matter what sex the person is.

Thomas is hoping the march will open the eyes of many and let them know that gay people are people too.

Both the protestors and the marchers say they will be acting peacefully.
