Street Preachers Back Hitching Post

Three men who describe themselves as street preachers staged a demonstration Friday outside of Coeur d’Alene City Hall to show support for the Hitching Post wedding chapel’s refusal to provide same-sex marriage services. They were joined by a handful of supporters. “We are a nation that is not on a solid foundation with God,” said minister Bruce Wakeman (pictured at right in SR photo), of Spokane Valley. The preachers railed at Coeur d’Alene’s new anti-discrimination ordinance that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. At the same time, Idaho’s ban on same-sex marriage was struck down by a federal judge last spring, leading to legalization of same-sex marriages in Idaho last week.
