(AgapePress) - - A volunteer for a Christian activist group in Massachusetts is accusing militant homosexuals of breaking into her house and stealing and then using her credit cards.
Article 8 Alliance is a pro-family group which promotes the biblical view of marriage. Recently a long-time female volunteer for Article 8 whose name is Amy was featured in a derogatory article in a local homosexual newspaper. After the article was published, she arrived home one day to find her house had been broken into and her credit cards stolen.
Brian Camenker, executive director of Article 8, says the break-in followed a pattern of harassment.
"She started getting a series of very threatening e-mails here at the office starting last winter -- threatening her family, saying they knew where she lived, her telephone number, describing her kids," he explains. "Unfortunately, she just wouldn't be silenced -- she continued to work for us, and they stepped up their threats."
Camenker claims the tactics of homosexual activists in his state are getting more extreme. "This has been a pattern throughout Massachusetts not only to individuals but to churches," he says. "Churches have been ... attacked and had demonstrations and threats against them when they have had anti-homosexual seminars or things like that."
The pro-family advocate laments that Massachusetts is "in many ways becoming sort of like almost a reign of terror against anyone who stands up to the homosexual agenda." According to Camenker, local police have been reluctant to investigate the break-in.
