Anti-Gay Southern Baptist Leader Arrested for Offering BJ to Male Cop

Posted just for the irony.

Anti-gay Southern Baptist leader arrested for allegedly offering male cop a BJ
http://www.channeloklahoma.com/news/5845859/detail.html

An executive committee member of the Southern Baptist Convention was arrested on a lewdness charge for propositioning a plainclothes policeman outside a hotel, police said.

Lonnie Latham, senior pastor at South Tulsa Baptist Church, was booked into Oklahoma County Jail Tuesday night on a misdemeanor charge of offering to engage in an act of lewdness, police Capt. Jeffrey Becker said. Latham was released on $500 bail Wednesday afternoon.

Latham, who has spoken out against homosexuality, asked the officer to join him in his hotel room for oral sex. Latham was arrested and his 2005 Mercedes automobile was impounded, Becker said....

When he left jail, he told Oklahoma City television station KFOR:

"I was set up. I was in the area pastoring to police."....

Latham is one of four Southern Baptist Convention executive committee members from Oklahoma....

He has also spoken out against same-sex marriage and in support of a Southern Baptist Convention directive urging its 42,000 churches to befriend gays and lesbians and try to convince them that they can become heterosexual "if they accept Jesus Christ as their savior and reject their 'sinful, destructive lifestyle."'

:rofl:

On edit: Joking aside...he wasn't asking for money, so why was he charged? The only good thing is he gets to see the discrimination he and his 'brethren' have created for us in Oklahoma!

19. He may have been asking for money. Plus, we don't know
how vulgar he may have become.

It says he "propositioned" a plainclothes police officer. It could mean that he just simply offered a sexual act, or it might mean he offered his services for money.

But its a good quesiton. The article is unclear on that.

20. Exactly. It was bad enough when Clinton forced all Americans
to explain oral sex to their young children :eyes:

But now, thanks to this guy, they have to explain why a man would want to give another man oral sex...

8. How many times have we seen this before?
No one who is comfortable with their sexuality would devote as much time and effort as these "homophobes" do to speaking out against the gay community.

21. Christ on a stick, it doesn't get any better than this folks!
I guess we can say his life is now officially over and that he'll have to go 'pastoring' incognito in Amsterdam's Red Light district or something - or do you really think he'll be able to explain it all away to his congregation??

You know the cops have this on tape . . . they've been taping everything (well, except the broomstick up the ass type things . . . maybe this "pastor" was looking for a little of that action, too?)

27. Well, at least this should SUMMARILY end his suggestion
that all Goddess-knows-how-many of his 'fellows' should show that they 'just dont have to be gay'. I mean, first hand evidence and all. He's a Republican, I KNOW he didn't need a second hand after all.

WAIT! I HAVE IT!

HE WAS PASTORING! He just had a Gawd-inspired need to demonstrate how 'Thy Rod and Thy Staff, They Comfort Me'. Perfectly innocent! Surprised he wasn't passing off Abramoff money for charity while he was at it.

Someone send his congregation a set of tickets to BBM and let them just go watch a love story. Isn't that what the Christian religion is about? Where better than a Convention? :)

~~AA~~

I'm happy the shitbag got busted but I thought if no money was involved then two adults could do whatever they wanted to.

46. There are three absolutes in religion:
1. Jewish people don't recognize Jesus Christ as the Son of God.
2. Muslims don't recognize the Jewish faith as legitimate; and,
3. Southern Baptists don't recognize each other in the liquor store on Saturday night.
