Hutch: Qblog , Qnews Cable gabber Chris Matthews offers a segment each day on his Hardball show that he calls the "Big Number." He takes some number from a poll or any other source and twists and turns it in various ways. So, the big number for Ken Hutcherson this weekend is 1/10. That's the fraction of the number he was calling for who responded Friday to his call to demonstrate bigotry by harassing a high school that dared to allow its students to quietly demonstrate for tolerance. Hutcherson had made a very public and widely publicized call for 1000 "Prayer Warriors"...

Hutch: Qblog , Qnews Really, when you think about it, you've gotta have a bit of sympathy for Redmond's anti-gay preacher Ken Hutcherson. He competes for attention in a crowded field of anti-gay ministers and doesn't seem to make much headway. Despite his constant appeals for media attention, he couldn't even make it onto Queerty 's list of top-20 anti-gay activists . For weeks now, he's been hinting on his "Prayer Warriors" mailing list that he was about to make a big splash with a program to target companies that offer employment equality to their LGB workers...

Yesterday, Ken Hutcherson sent to his "Prayer Warriors" this missive: Please pray for me as I speak at the Watchmen on the Wall Conference this weekend. There has been misinformation and lies told about the conference. Pray that there will be a good turnout and there will be a clear presentation about what God is and isn't pleased with. Indeed. There's probably been a wealth of misinformation -- starting, of course, with the misinformation about their project given to the Lynnwood Convention Center by the conference sponsors when they booked the center. Part of the cause of the...

In its weekend editions, The Herald (Everett) has a thorough and informative story by Jackson Holz on this week's anti-gay conference in Lynnwood. (The link comes to us via Orcinus blog that has been closely following developments with the conference hosted by virulently anti-gay group Watchmen on the Walls.) The chairman of the quasi-public group responsible for booking the center refused to admit to the Herald's Holz there is anything untoward about this group. "Our understanding is that they're law-abiding. They have a right of free speech just like any other group," said...

A portrait of Satender Singh rests on his grandmother's table. Sacramento Bee photo by Kevin German Anti-gay American crusaders, including Redmond's Ken Hutcherson and Oregon's Scott Lively have celebrated the anti-gay energy brought to their movements by evangelical churches for Russian-speaking emigres from former Soviet republics. A recent assault in Sacramento shows the danger of that "energy" when misdirected. The death in Sacramento early this month of Satender Singh, a 26-year old immigrant from Fiji, has riled tensions there between the city's large Slavic immigrant...

The Roman Catholic archbishop of Riga, Cardinal Janis Pujats, Latvia has issued a public letter asking his countrymen to take to the streets to oppose any attempt by gay and lesbian folks in the Baltic country to march. Riga Pride and Friendship Days is scheduled to start in less than four weeks. "If there are 1,000 sexually crazy people acting foolishly in the square of Pride, then the people's march in Riga should have at least 40,000 or 50,000," Pujats wrote. "That is a conflict situation. It would be better, therefore, if the provocative demonstration were to occur in a location...

Crosscut , David Brewster's new online newspaper for the Northwest run largely by Seattle Weekly alumni, has -- and this is remarkable -- used the word "gay" in a headline today, " Young gay-rights opponents get vocal in Oregon ". That's news in itself, but more interesting is the story under the headline. Those young gay-rights opponents were mostly from Russian-language (Russophone) churches in Oregon. They provide a link that helps explain the reasons for the recent visits to Riga, Latvia by Redmond's Ken Hutcherson and Oregon haulocaust revisionist Scott Lively...

Latvian blogger Peteris Cedrins has added an extensive comment to an earlier post here in which we touched on religion in Latvia. Peteris confirms our suspicion that statements like Hutcherson's that "Latvia is a Christian nation" are more aspirational than factual. Given the interference of our local preacher in Latvian politics, Cedrins' comment deserves to be brought up here to the top. [We apologize that the Blogger software that we use in the background for this blog can't handle the diacritical marks that are used on most Latvian names, including Cedrins'.] by Peteris...

Pastor Ken Hutcherson in Riga photo: New Generation Church During his two recent visits to the Baltic republic of Latvia, Redmond's anti-gay activist pastor Ken Hutcherson called himself a "special envoy" from the White House Office of Faith Based Initiatives. The Stranger's Eli Sanders checked with the White House about the title. A spokesperson for the office told him that Hutcherson had no official sanction for his trip. Disputation ensues . The White House has reason to be concerned about the title that the pastor has been using because Hutcherson's activities in Latvia...
