Anti-Gay Louisiana Pastor, Convicted Of Obscenity For Masturbating In Public

[kpete]

As NOLA.com reports, Rev. Grant Storm was sentenced to three years' probation after the incident in Lafreniere Park. Storm is quoted as calling public masturbation "a thrill" in his confession. However, despite an eyewitness account cited by the New Orleans Times-Picayune which stated that 55-year-old pastor had been "looking at the playground area that contained children playing, with his zipper down" at the time of his arrest, authorities denied any suspicions that he was a pedophile.

"Lafreniere Park is a public place," Judge Ross LaDart is quoted as saying when he announced the verdict, according to the publication. "Lafreniere Park is a place that was chosen by this defendant to engage in a history of masturbation."

At the time of his arrest, Storms told officers on the scene he was attempting to urinate in a bottle inside van. He later admitted to concocting the story. "I'm confessing to having my hand in my pants," Storms is quoted by Best Of New Orleans as saying at the time. "That's all I'm going to say."

4. And probably thinking about...guys.

The ones that scream the loudest are doing so because
they cannot get the images out of their heads.

I just tell them to come out already, I dont judge,
unless they attack gays, then they are disgusting.

5. Morals and values crowd fail.

6. Fundamentalist religion always provides the most convenient shield to

cover the sleaziest of character flaws (if one can actually define pedophilia as a "character flaw&quot .

7. Public monkey spanking while watching children playing near by......that is very creepy and

disturbing. And apparently he used this same spot before. Hmm. I wouldn't be so sure that he is not a pedophile. These things tend to escalate over time.

8. You know how it goes

A man in a committed, monogamous relationship that gets what he needs at home from his husband is evil, while a man that needs to whack off in a public park to kids is perfectly fine, normal and godly.
