He objects to a student-led observance called " Day of Silence " that's designed to raise awareness of anti-gay bullying. The numbers that heeded his call were far lower according to all estimates.

The local observances of Day of Silence are usually organized by students in each school, but are supported and encouraged by Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network ( GLSEN...

The occasional mobilization of anti-gay groups isn't unheard of in the Seattle area. In 2005, Kirkland pastor Ken Hutcherson organized the "Mayday for Marriage" rally, which drew 20,000 to Safeco Field. Unsurprisingly, Hutcherson will play a large role in this weekend's Watchmen conference -- which the group...
