How many thousands of San Diego’s taxpayer’s dollars will the paranoid pastor squander on security this time? (graphic: We Don’t Buy the “Ex-Gay” Lie!)

Here’s a handy-dandy-how-to-get-to Jim Garlow’s ‘Mighty Fortress for the Lord, Inc.‘ for those interested in protesting the unfabulous ‘ex-gay’s’ Love Won Out prey-away-the-gay-fest this coming Saturday.

Here’s the skinny from the protest’s organizers.

Pastor Jim Garlow is hosting a major anti-gay event on March 6th at his Rancho San Diego Skyline mega-church. Garlow is widely understood to have driven the Prop 8 campaign locally, and promotes the idea that homosexuality is a ’sin’ and that a person can be cured by embracing-his-doctrine of Christianity. The ‘Ex-Gay Ministry’ parades around a tiny handful of speakers who claim to have been ‘cured,’ but it is widely known that people who undergo these browbeatings more often than not end up feeling more depressed, more conflicted, and more self-hating. It’s time to call it like it is: Jim Garlow is a promoter of homophobia, not families or safe, happy living, or whatever else he uses as cover.

Details for both demonstrations:

Here’s all you need to know about Jim Garlow:

The pastor of Skyline Church is no stranger to LGBT Californians, nor to our families, friends and allies. Pastor Jim Garlow claimed responsibility for jump-starting Prop 8, the California ballot initiative that took away the existing right of LGBT couples to marry; was the driving force behind the pre-2008-Election, anti-gay rally, TheCall, at Qualcomm Stadium; traveled to DC to oppose The Matthew Shepard & James Byrd Jr Hate Crimes Prevention Act; was one of the original signatories of the blueprint for American theocracy called The Manhattan Declaration; and, most recently, tried (unsuccessfully) to worm out of testifying in the Perry v Schwarzenegger Prop 8 trial.

And, this so-called “Christian” actually flew in to take part in a 90-minute televised prey-away-the-healthcare-reform prayercast sponsored by Tony Perkins‘ gay-hating Family Research Council and featuring Garlow’s buddy, Shaky Lou Engle. Be sure to scroll down and check out the video evidence of Pastor Jim Garlow explaining how providing access to healthcare for uninsured and underinsured Americans violates the Ten Commandments.

No. I’m not kidding.
