Victory: Oklahoma Supreme Court Vacates Protective Order Against Street Preacher Who Criticized Gay Marriage, Denounced Drag Show​

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — In a 5-4 ruling, the Oklahoma Supreme Court has vacated a five-year protective order against street preacher Rich Penkoski, who used social media to express his moral concerns about a church that endorsed gay marriage and to expose a public drag queen performance in front of children.

In coming to Penkoski’s defense, The Rutherford Institute denounced the protective order as a clear violation of the street preacher’s First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion. Rutherford Institute attorneys also warned that the issuance of such restraining orders could be used to silence individuals whose religious views may be perceived as intolerant or hateful, and to penalize anyone who cites a Bible verse which causes offense or ignites fears despite not making any threat of physical harm.

A great victory. I don't know how advocates of perverse library story hour defend these perversions. Instead of dressing as women, how about dressing up in clown or dog outfits? If you want to do this, then stop using tax dollars.

do those red collars and long red leashes worn by the vice president apprentice contestants count as "dressing like a dog?"

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

Your complaints would carry more weight if you weren’t a pronounced nazi.

Even where I agree with him, I try not to reply to his threads because of the "optics."

I understand the desire to troll the commie left here, but why feed into their silly accusations

You cannot groom a straight child into being a Gay child. It's scientifically impossible.

You visit a dead 'church', look of a true Christian church, at best independent fundamentalist baptist

That's not the goal.
The goal is to have these children grow up accepting perversion as "normal.' but yes, impressionable CHILDREN can be TAUGHT to practice this behavior.

What one generation TOLERATES, the next generation will EMBRACE

But it's OK to be a serial adulterer and cheat on your wife at home with your new born child.

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, right?

What you call perversion, is what those other folks call, just being me. Should we be telling our kids, when you grow up, and see two women, or two men in love, you need to shoot them quickly?

I don’t believe innate, instinctive behavior can be changed. Kids may act out regarding homosex but they won’t partake for real. It’s nauseating.
My generation grew up with glam rock but it didn’t make us become homos.

There is the preacher that has the gay pride flag outside is wearing his pride scarf thing? I forgot what it's called.

It's why my grandmother's friends left the church is because he talks about gays and pushes gay pride at the church. Grandma wouldn't leave though, she didn't like the preachers gay stuff but she told me "I was here first, I'm not leaving"

Found that pic on the churches Facebook page.

The proof is in observation. Perverted sexual behavior is clearly on the rise. It was also biblically prophesied. You're in denial.

I disagree.
I see the same few homos speaking more loudly and people acquiescing out of fear of social retribution.
Otherwise, normal kids (and some adults) act out as homo to appear virtuous and cool.

I totally understand the "I was here first and so I am not leaving!" mentality, but in my opinion, if you don't like what is going to be said up there in that pulpit, what is the real point of sticking around still? Continuing to sit in that pew is only going to help stimulate whatever is coming from that stage.

God bless you always!!!

A great victory? Yes a great victory for hate. All rights have there limits This jackass has crossed the line from free speech to bias intimidation.. You cannot threaten and harass people

In his post, Penkoski referenced Bible verses condemning homosexuality, including Romans 1:32 – "and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same but also give hearty approval to those who practice them."

The pastor also cited Matthew 18:6, which quotes Jesus saying that "whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."

In a police report filed by an officer with ties to Oklahomans for Equality in Bartlesville, the couple felt directly threatened and harassed by Penkoski's social media posts and sought a restraining order, according to local outlet V1SUT
