Opponents' Actions Against Louis Sheldon

Louis Sheldon was a guest speaker when the Hamilton Square Baptist Church Riot occurred. Christianity Today reported the following regarding the incident:

Although Sheldon has had his home painted with graffiti and his office littered with manure by radical homosexuals, this is the first time he was targeted at a church. According to Peter LaBarbera, editor of the Lambda Report, a California-based newsletter that monitors the homosexual movement, the incident represents a trend toward increased militancy among homosexual activists.[2]
