Baptists throw the first stone

The Rev. Lonnie W. Latham was arrested on Jan 3, 2006 in Oklahoma City for asking for sex from an undercover policeman. His attorney filed a motion to have the misdemanor lewdness charge thrown out based on the 2003 Supreme court decision Lawrence v. Texas that it was not illegal for consenting adults to engage in private homosexual acts.
The hypocrisy of this story is that Reverend Lonnie W. Latham was a Baptist minister who had supported a resolution calling on gay men and lesbians to reject their sinful ways as well as a state amendment to protect the traditional definition of marriage.
