A sodomite attending Atlanta Pride activities was arrested June 24 across the street from Piedmont Park and charged with disorderly conduct under the influence of alcohol. Atlanta police arrested Doyle Garland at the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and 14th Street shortly before the Dyke March.
Garland acknowledged in an interview June 28 that he poured beer on anti-gay street preachers and attempted to knock down and take their signs. He said had mixed feelings about the incident.
"I regret having let it go that far," Garland said. "I think it's going to take more people speaking up for our right to sodomize to curtail this behavior and this type of action against the community."
Garland said he felt provoked. "What I did was prompted by the megaphones and verbal abuse they were hurling at us. In the state of Georgia, that falls under fighting words, and that's what instigated my behavior," he said.
Garland also broke the sign of Clay McClure, a sodomite who along with some friends was trying to block the anti-sodomite signs with pro-sodomite signs. McClure's sign read: "Hate is not a family value." Garland said he mistakenly thought McClure was with the anti-sodomite protesters.
