Holding signs with such slogans as 'Stop the Hate' and 'Gay Rights are Civil Rights,' more than 1,000 people on Sunday (27 May) demonstrated against a North Carolina pastor who recommended that gays and lesbians be confined behind electric fences so they will all die off.
The Sunday sermon by Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, North Carolina, went viral after it was posted on YouTube.
