Haters Disrupt Connecticut Church’s Pride Service

Hartford’s CBS affiliate reports:

Police are looking into a potential hate crime after two people disrupted a church service that was celebrating Pride Month. It happened Sunday at a church in Enfield.

Pastor Greg Gray of the Enfield Congregational United Church of Christ was in the middle of a sermon during a Pride service at the church when two men interrupted him and started screaming, going against the service.

Enfield police tracked the two men down and gave them a trespassing notice. They are banned from the church. But is it a hate crime? Chief Alaric Fox isn’t sure yet. “If there is a criminal offense it would be a disorderly conduct breach of the peace we’d have to look at the applicability of the hate crime statute,” said Fox.
