"With Labor Day weekend approaching, the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, was preparing for one of its biggest annual and infamous occasions. No fewer than 100,000 homosexuals and lesbians...were beginning to descend on the ill-fated city for the celebration called Southern Decadence. This was a celebration that the massive numbers of sodomites were looking forward to, because it included wild dancing in the streets, complete with open sex acts and unspeakable perversion in full public view.
The primary voice of opposition to the Southern Decadence celebration was a minister from New Orleans whose name is Grant Storms. Pastor Storms video taped some of the disgusting activities of the 2004 Southern Decadence event and presented it to the City Council of New Orleans. After the entire city council, including Mayor Ray Nagin, viewed the perverted sex acts and unspeakable filth filmed by Pastor Storms, they responded by unanimously passing an ordinance sponsored by councilwoman Jacqueline Clarkson to silence Pastor Storms...
As the sodomites began to gather in anticipation of their upcoming event, Pastor Storms and 300 Christians rallied in the streets and declared that New Orleans had become another Sodom and Gomorrah and warned of the wrath of God soon to come. They were laughed at, mocked, and heckled, and soon Almighty God took over. Shortly, Mayor Nagin and the city council would be screaming for help. They had silenced Pastor Grant Storms, but God Almighty sent another kind of storm; one that will never be forgotten."
