Baptist leader accused of soliciting male prostitute

[kweerwolf]

A leader of the Southern Baptist Convention has been arrested in Oklahoma City on a lewdness complaint for allegedly propositioning a plainclothes policeman.

Police say the Reverend Lonnie Latham was arrested Tuesday night in a motel parking lot after soliciting an officer who was posing as a male prostitute.

Latham is pastor of South Tulsa Baptist Church and is on the executive committee of the Southern Baptist Convention. He has spoken out in the past against homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

After posting bond, Latham told K-F-O-R T-V in Oklahoma City that he was set up, and was in the area ministering to people.

"Ministering to people"? WTF? ... And I guess he was on his knees to offer a prayer, huh?

4. Odd, I was unaware that there was a "motel parking lot ministry" in the

Southern Baptist church. Now thats a novel excuse....

Apparently Rev. Gaytham ... oops! I mean Rev. Im-not-GAY-tham ... was ministering to the flock in the parking lot of the Habana Inn, a motel with a rather infamous reputation that even most of the straight folks in the area know about.

Guess maybe next time he'll have to come up with a most subtle pick-up line than "Wanna come up to my room for some begatin'?"

10. durn, wonder what ol' plainclothes did to earn that beat?

The funny thing is, you can be sure that Vice Squad was out to go find some evil homos and arrest them. It's a lot easier to arrest a john than a man ho.

I'm sure when it turned out to be a straying Southern Babtist preacher they were probably less than pleased.

But oh well!!!! When you go fishin' for trouser trout, sometimes ya catch catfish.
