Woman Charged with Assault for Kissing Preacher; Occurred at NC Gay Pride Event Preacher Opposed

The Huffington Post website reports today (July 4, 2011) that a Bible-waving preacher -- protesting at a gay pride event in North Carolina -- was kissed on his cheek by a 74-year-old female gay rights supporter who is now charged with simple assault.

Joan Parker admits she kissed the preacher on the cheek at the event -- proclaimed by the Salisbury mayor as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Day.

The preacher, James Edward Belcher, of Taylorsville, said, "If I hadn't turned my head, I'd have gotten it right on my mouth."

Belcher, 49, is the minister at New Light Baptist Church No.2 in Millers Creek, NC.
