1 dead after shooting
in Oak Lawn
Dallas police are looking for a black male in
connection with a shooting in Oak Lawn late Sun-
day night, Dec. 21, that left one man dead.
Floyd Robinson, 32, was pronounced dead at
Parkland Memorial Hospital.
According to police reports, officers responded
about 11 p.m. Sunday to a shooting call in the
2900 block of Lucas, about a block off Cedar
Springs Road, near the North Dallas Tollway. They
found Robinson in a breezeway at an apartment
complex there, suffering from a gunshot wound.
Homicide detectives later determined that
Robinson had been involved in an altercation in the
2800 block of The Mall Street, just across Hartford
Street from the apartment where he was found.
The investigation so far indicated that Robinson
was shot during that altercation and then ran
across Hartford Street to the location where he
was found.
Detectives said the suspect remains unknown
and that the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with
information concerning this shooting call the DPD
Homicide Unit at 214-671 -3661.

Anti-gay pastor arrested for
accosting young man
Gaylard Williams, 59, pastor of Praise Cathedra!
Church of God in Seymour, Ind. known for his anti-
gay sermons, was arrested recently and charged
with sexual battery for allegedly groping a young
man in park there.
The victim, 27, told police he was sitting in his
vehicle near Cypress Lake on Friday, Dec. 12
when Williams approached his car. The younger
man told police he roiled down his window to see
what Williams wanted, and Williams reached in the
window, grabbed his genitals and squeezed, while
at the same time asking the young man to perform
oral sex on him, according to WLKY.com.
According to reports by The Daily Beast,
Williams kept trying to convince the young man to
give him a blow job, even though the young man
told him repeatedly that he “didn’t swing that way.”
Williams suggested that the lake was a known
cruise area and that he had come there before to
find men for sex, and that the younger man would-
n’t be parked there if he weren’t looking for sex.
The younger man told police he finally got
Williams to leave by telling him he had a gun and
pretending to reach for a weapon. When Williams
got in his car to leave, the younger man followed
him long enough to write down his license plate
number and report him to police.
WLKY reports that when police caught
Wiiiiams, they found gay pornography in his car.
He allegedly told police the videotape was “a pro-
motional thing” that came in the mail to his office,
and that he was just delivering it to a friend.
Wiiiiams was released on his own recognizance
and is expected back before a judge on Feb. 9.
Williams has told his congregation that anyone
who engages in same-sex sex is a wicked person
and going to hell. And his church’s website in-
cludes a statement of “moral purity” calling on
church members to “engage in those activities
which glorify God in our body and which avoid the
V
fulfillment of the lust of the flesh. We will read,
watch and listen to those things which are of posi-
tive benefit to our spiritual well-being.”

Group aims to repeal
Plano ordinance
A new group called Plano Citizens United has
organized against the city of Piano “forcing this im-
moral lifestyle down the throats of the people of
Plano” following the Plano City Council’s recent
vote to add protections for LGBT people to its
nondiscrimination ordinance.
A flyer was distributed door to door to warn of
this “immoral” ordinance that was passed with
only two days notice.
According to Piano spokesman Steve Stoller,
this ordinance, like ail pending city business, is
posted on the city’s website the Thursday before
the next council meeting.
The ordinance was passed early in December,
but Plano Citizens United cries foul because it was
done just before Christmas.
The group claims the ordinance violates the
Constitution. It’s not clear if they meant the U.S. or
Texas Constitution, but if the group does mean the
Texas Constitution, the Plano ordinance does not
legalize same-sex marriage.
Guest Insurance Agency, 903 18th Street, Suite
124, Plano is collecting signatures to put the repeal
of the ordinance on the ballot. The 3,700 required
signatures must be collected within 30 days.
Progressive insurance, a major corporate donor
to Human Rights Campaign and other LGBT
causes, lists Guest Insurance as one of their
agents.
The door hanger indicates the flyer comes from
New Heights Baptist Church, which is located at
340 Hooper Road, Wylie, and is not located in
Plano. Plano Citizens United can be contacted at
972-755-9824.
