The protest, led by eight-member anti fascism group Rose City Antifa, was held during the church’s first meeting. The group opposes the church’s views, including those on homosexuality, which the church believes is a sin, as well as its views on women; Mars Hill Seattle Pastor Mark Driscoll has said that women should not hold church leader ship positions. The group is a local chapter of the Anti- Racist Action, a self-proclaimed radical an ti-fascist group. Rose City Antifa started in 2007 to shut down Hammerfest, a neo-Nazi festival that drew a crowd of 100 to the Portland area. Mars Hill announced in September it would open a new church in Portland. The announcement was met with opposition from the LGBTQ_ community. A protest “kiss-in" was originally planned on Facebook to coincide with the church’s first official gathering on September 10, but it was called off when the church canceled the gathering. The church said it didn’t want to interfere with the Belmont Street Fair, which was held in the neighborhood on the same day. Documentary A Jihad for Love screens at Q Center October 26. Mars Hill Portland Pastor Tim Smith and leaders at Q_Center have since met to start a dialogue, a move met with mixed reactions by the LGBTQ_community. Smith and the Q_Center are planning to hold regular meet ings between members of the evangelical Christian and LGBTQcommunities. Rose City Antifa member Caroline, who declined to give her last name out of fear of retaliation from neo-Nazi groups, says the meetings give Mars Hill “credibility” that it doesn’t deserve. “We feel like it’s more productive to en gage with people who want to fight patriar chy and homophobia,” Caroline said. Smith said the protesters “certainly have the right to make their position known the same way we have the right to hold our be liefs.” But he added the group “directed an ger toward families and kids in a pretty harsh way.” A report published online Oc tober 16 by The Oregonian said that protest ers “shouted profanities at adults and children.” Caroline said that though “at no point was anyone accosting children,” the group has a right to be angry. She said one would be incorrect to assume that “if you’re nice you’re on the right side, and if you’re angry you’re on the wrong side.” Rose City Antifa plans to hold another protest but hasn’t yet scheduled a date. — A aron S pen c er Catching Up with Q Center As 2011 comes to a close, Q_Center con tinues its perpetual clamor to partner with or host top-notch LGBTQ_ events.
