Protestors turn their backs on Warren. They were escorted out.

Megachurch mega-homophobia purpose-driven Pastor Rick Warren soiled the Martin Luther King Jr. commemorative service outside Ebenezer Baptist Church today, on what would have been the civil rights leaders 80th birthday. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports on the peaceful protest by LGBT rights activists outside the house of worship.

    Gathering at the corner of Jackson Street and Auburn Avenue, they hoisted signs declaring: "We still have a dream: Equality." And they chanted: "Gay, straight, black or white, we demand our civil rights."

    ..."Rick Warren is not a voice of unity or equality," said Jeff Schade, director of GLBTATL, which stands for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Atlanta.
