Anti-gay preacher from Toronto greeted with protests at Sunset Beach (VIDEOS)
The leader of an anti-gay Christian ministry was greeted with protests as he visited Vancouver’s Sunset Beach on Monday evening.
The appearance was part of a Canada-wide tour by Toronto-based David Lynn, the head of Christ’s Forgiveness Ministry, and who is known in the city for his street preaching and staging a march through the city’s gay village.
Lynn’s appearance in Vancouver comes after a former member of his ministry and another man were recently arrested for breaking a man’s leg.

Got home from shopping for school to find the anti-#LGBTQIA+ hate preacher from Toronto was baptising people in the ocean across the street. Davie Village turned up to drown him out with fabulousness.
Hate has no place here.
