"The Rev. Lonnie W. Latham had supported a resolution calling on gays and lesbians to reject their “sinful, destructive lifestyle” before his Jan. 3, 2006, arrest outside the Habana Inn in Oklahoma City."

E. Getting arrested public gay lewdness when you're a minister who had spoken out against homosexuality and having the ACLU argue on your side?
