Hate TV? Anti-LGBTQ Harlem Church Adds Video to Already Offensive Sign

How do you make the controversial sign in front of the notorious Harlem Hate Church even more offensive? It's easy. Just add a TV.

Neighbors in Harlem are up in arms over the latest addition to the already offensive sign in front of the headquarters for the SPLC-designated anti-LGBTQ hate group ATLAH World Missionary Church. Defying city orders, the organization's famed homophobic pastor James David Manning has recently attached a large television to the sign that frequently features messages like "Obama has released homo demons."

Speaking with DNAInfo, Manning had a go-for-broke attitude. "They've already condemned the [existing] sign for being in violation, so what am I supposed to do?" He said.

The timing of the sign coincides with the beleaguered anti-LGBTQ church's latest round of legal and financial woes, which its addition only adds to. DNAInfo notes that Manning's organization already owes the city $23,000 for previous landmark violations related to building alternations.

The church is currently losing in its appeals process over the more than $1 million in debt that could end in foreclosure. All of this is good news for The Ali Forney Center, a group that cares for homeless LGBTQ youth. Ali Forney has had their eye on the Harlem property and has successfully crowdfunded a down deposit should it go into foreclosure.
