NOM: Those Evil Gays Came THIS CLOSE To Murdering Us In Rhode Island!

LifeSiteNews gets the prize for the most hysterics-laden and fact-twisting coverage of NOM's appearance in Rhode Island. They barely escaped the evil homofacists with their lives, people!

Unhampered by police, a peaceful pro-life rally devolved into chaos Sunday after an army of homosexualist activists shouted down presenters, screamed insults, and even targeted for harrassment small children of families who had come in support of marriage between a man and a woman. A group organized by Queer Action Rhode Island began by chanting loudly through bullhorns as they approached the rally, organized by the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) as part of the month-long Summer for Marriage Tour 2010, in front of the State Capitol building.

But, according to NOM executive director Brian Brown, it became clear that "this was not going to be a normal counter-protest" when the 250-strong red-shirted crowd "kept coming forward" until police gave way and allowed the screaming crowd to flood the stage and podium - for which NOM had obtained a permit from the state. "I've never seen anything like that, and I've been involved in the marriage issue for the last 15 years," Brown told LifeSiteNews.com. Video of the event shows protesters screaming inches from Brown's face as he attempts to continue the presentation.

In addition, he said, the Providence protesters "started jeering and heckling families" and even clearly targeted small children with screams and insults - treatment, said Brown, that left several children, including his own, tearful and asking whether they would be safe. "What they were trying to do was scare and scare little children," he said. "It was so out of bounds that it was surreal. ... I know my kids were crying, other kids were crying too. they were literally crying at the end, asking if they were going to be OK."
