Pastor's Suit Challenging Arrest For Gay Pride Protest Is Settled

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
According to Thursday's Wichita (KA) Eagle, a settlement has been reached in a federal lawsuit that was filed last year by a pastor who was arrested for preaching and distributing literature on a sidewalk near a park where a Gay Pride event was being held. (See prior posting.) A consent decree handed down this week stipulates that the city violated Pastor Mark Holick?s 1st and 14th Amendment rights, and awards him $11,700 in damages and $2,500 in attorneys? fees.
