LINK Court: Anti-LGBTQ Church Can Purchase Iconic Pro-LGBTQ Theater in Fresno (CA) | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

Here’s a controversy worth keeping an eye on: The Tower Theatre for the Performing Arts is an iconic building in Fresno, California. Built in 1939, the theater is home to the Fresno Film Festival and on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s the center of a very diverse and LGBTQ-friendly community.

Soon, it’ll become a church.

Adventure Church plans to purchase the building as part of its own expansion, which is controversial only in part because it’s part of the Foursquare Gospel Church, which promotes faith-healing, speaking in tongues, and opposing LGBTQ rights. One local journalist referred to that purchase as akin to “the Republican Party the Castro Theatre in San Francisco and transforming it into an indoor shooting range.”
