A group of protestors decided their time was best spent railing against gender-neutral bathrooms at a South L.A. school on Monday.
The 'Official Street Preachers,' as they're called, gathered across the way from Santee Education Complex in South L.A. Monday afternoon to scream and complain about the school's new gender-neutral restroom, which took the place of a multi-stall women's restroom on the school's second floor in mid-April.
This is the second time the group has protested the school. They showed up on April 20 and a brawl broke out between students and protestors. A bearded preacher stressed to KTLA that the students started it, turning their protest into "a Donald Trump rally."
"We're here to address the issue of morality," claimed a fedora-wearing preacher to the station. "This will bring a rise to sexual predators and it's opening the bathroom door to sexual offenders and pedophiles." This was said by a grown man standing outside a school to offer his opinions on where students pee.
Perhaps you've seen these gentleman before. We have! They show up every year to Go Topless Day on Venice Beach, an annual demonstration during which people advocate for women's rights to be topless in public, just like men. We were present one year and witnessed them telling the women that they were "whores" whose parents hated them, so they're a real peaceful bunch.
Curious, I begrudgingly became the 23rd person to like them on Facebook so I could see what they're all about. This is where I learned that the group is "about one thing: preaching the raw, uncensored, unadulterated word of God." This seems to involve marching around with a megaphone and signs that read things like, "Homosex is a threat to national security," and "Ask me why you deserve Hell." Yawn.
