Anti-Gay Fundamentalist Preacher Arrested for Gay Soliciting

    A Tulsa pastor arrested on suspicion of lewd behavior in Oklahoma City on Tuesday for allegedly propositioning a plainclothes policeman has resigned from a major state religious organization.

    .........................

    Police said the Rev. Lonnie Latham was arrested Tuesday night in a motel parking lot after soliciting a plainclothes officer who was investigating an area where there have been complaints of male prostitutes.

    Latham was a pastor at South Tulsa Baptist Church and had been 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 an Oklahoma City television station that he was set up and was in the area ministering to people. :rolleyes:

    He claims that asking for oral sex is ministering to people, may be he has discovered a new type of prayer group which includes only two naked guys. ;)

    You got to wonder how many religious and political figures that are so against gay rights are actually gay. Kind of like in the 4th grade when you say you hate girls and pick on them, but secretly you are in love.

    The cops FORCED him to ask for homosexual sex. ;)

    In a couple of days, when he realizes his story isn't sticking, he'll repent, ask for forgiveness and get reassigned. At least he didn't get caught propositioning a kid.

    Is anybody out there capable of feigning surprise? This is as much a revelation as Kate Moss' cocaine scandal.

    It's still a big deal considering how anti-gay a lot of christians are, then every year 100 or so preists are caught molesting boys and having sex with gay prostitutes. It's a big religion that a lot of people believe.

    You can arrest someone for propositioning sex? It sounds like the cop was undercover. If he's in plainclothes, investigating an area where gay men solicit sex, that sounds like undercover work. I'm not sticking up for this preacher, I think he's a troubled scumbag. But it sounds like entrapment to me.

    I knew a guy in college who literally tested out the theory that if you ask 100 random girls to have sex with you, one will say yes. I think he quit after about 45, with no luck. I thought it was hilarious watching him get rejected. Little did I know he was committing 45 criminal acts :p

    There's something fundamentally wrong with a religion that asks it's leaders to have diff. sexual ethics from the rest of the congregation. The Catholics expect celibacy, those that don't expect hetero only (mostly).

    Propositioning with a adult is one thing. Was he offering to pay? In which case it should be wrong. If not, cut the guy some slack!

    Homosexuality is totally different from pedophilia. No question, no debate. Graham Capill is a religious leader who preached that the bible was too filthy to let children read. Maybe he shouldn't have either as he's now festering in jail after abusing numerous little girls.

    Oklahoma City District Attorney Wes Lane says, “The law in Oklahoma prohibits an individual from soliciting another to engage in what is considered a lewd act regardless of whether money is sought for or exchanged.”

    Bumping old dead topics by new people is a sin punishable by a minister propositioning you.
