(AgapePress) - A Christian activist from California says Christians ministering at the recent "Gay Games" in Chicago received an anything-but-warm welcome from a pro-homosexual crowd that included some unexpected enemies.

James Hartline is a former homosexual who has now dedicated his life to helping free others from that lifestyle and combating the homosexual agenda. The Illinois Family Institute invited him to Chicago to speak recently, during the 2006 Gay Games events, about the physical dangers of homosexual activity.

Hartline says at one point during his visit, he and a group of Christians gathered together in front of a homosexual bathhouse. There, he notes, they met fierce resistance from a raucous crowd of homosexual activists and their supporters.

"When we went inside of the homosexual community," the Christian activist recalls, "it had to be one of the ugliest spiritual experiences that I've ever experienced, because of the hostility that was directed towards us specifically by members of that community. It was like a mob mentality." the rest
