An openly gay Davenport pastor criticized the National Organization for Marriage on Monday regarding a sign that showed up at one of its recent rallies displaying two nooses as the “solution to gay marriage.”

The Rev. Rich Hendricks of the Metropolitan Community Church of the Quad-Cities said his denomination has issued a call for the anti-gay marriage advocacy group, to denounce the sign.

“Iowans, do you want to support an organization that refuses to denounce lynchings as a solution to a problem?” Hendricks said at a Stand Proud, Vote Proud rally held Monday in Davenport.

Maggie Gallagher, chairman of the group known as NOM, said Monday her organization had asked the participant at the July 26 rally in Indianapolis to remove his sign and called the participant “disturbed.”

Gallagher said gay marriage proponents have been jumping on the sign incident to “blame the majority of Americans who believe marriage is one man, one woman.”

NOM’s Summer for Marriage tour and the pro-gay marriage Stand Proud, Vote Proud tour will cross paths today in Sioux City, Iowa.

Davenport Alderman Bill Boom called NOM activists “out-of-state antagonists” who are building discrimination and hate in Iowa over the issue.
