MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) ― The Pride Festival kicked off in Loring Park Saturday.
There were live bands, food and thousands of people. It's now the
third-largest gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender celebration in the
country.
But there was some trouble there Saturday night.
Minneapolis Police arrested three people from Hayward, Wis. for trespassing.
An amateur photographer named Aaron Bogle gave WCCO-TV video of a father,
mother and son being arrested.
For 11 years, Brian and Doris Johnson have passed out free Bibles at the
festival.
This year, they were not allowed to have a booth. Pride paid to rent the
whole park and that gave them the right to choose which vendors they allowed
in.
The Johnsons said they are born-again Christians and they believe
homosexuality is a sin.
Police said they were each being held Saturday night on a $50 bail or a $300
bond.
