$30,000 settles lawsuit over cop’s pro-’gay’ intimidation
Traditional marriage advocates badgered, mocked by uniformed officer
A $30,000 settlement has been reached in a lawsuit brought by advocates for traditional family after a Florida cop working security for a conference badgered them and mocked marriage by kissing another male officer, according to officials for the organization promoting a Florida constitutional amendment that would define marriage as involving only one man and one woman.
The civil rights case was brought in the Southern District of Florida by Alliance Defense Fund-allied attorney Frederick “Rick” Nelson of the American Liberties Institute on behalf of the Florida Family Police Council for violations of the U.S. Constitution.
The harassment happened during a 2006 Promise Keepers conference at Bank Atlantic Center in Ft. Lauderdale, when Sunrise police Sgt. Stephen Allen approached a table set up there to seek signatures on petitions to put the constitutional amendment on the Florida ballot.

According to a report from the Florida Family Policy Council, it had paid $800 to set up the table under a large tent at the conference. At the table, volunteers were busy collecting signatures when Allen, the duty officer “hired by the Broward-owned civic center,” approached and told volunteers the petitions could not be collected or be in “public view.” He ordered their immediately removal.
“The volunteers said they were mocked, harassed and threatened with being arrested for collecting the petitions, and then Allen personally confiscated the petitions. Sgt. Allen and Officer M. Allard, both male officers, further ridiculed the effort by appearing to kiss each other,” the report said.
We have had recent stories of police illegally entering the home of a mayor and roughing up the mayor and his family. At the DNC Convention in Denver, the police like Storm Troopers, attacked innocent young girls having a permit to make sidewalk drawings, they roughed up reporters investigating financial support for the DNC; and we have many stories in recent years wherein the police have violated the civil rights of Christians, always in defense of homosexuality. The police in this country, more and more seem to have an open hostility to people of faith, be liberal in their law enforcement policies and are supportive of homosexual conduct, even allowing sodomy and oral sexual relations on public streets.
Somehow the Democrats and the Homosexual Activists appear to have taken over many of our police departments and they are trampling on the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and the rule of law.
