."..A pastor in Wisconsin is celebrating a major court victory this week in a case involving his right to speak out against homosexuality. It all started back in 2003, when Pastor Ralph Ovadal and his supporters held over a busy highway a banner that read, "Homosexuality is sin" and "Christ can set you free." Next, Ovadal says, "The police came and threw us off and said that this wouldn't be allowed on that overpass or any overpass in the city of Madison. We felt it was based on the reaction of the people reading the message. So, of course, we went to court on that issue." In court, the Wisconsin minister's legal representation argued that the actions of the police infringed on his free speech rights. At first, a federal judge ruled in favor of the police; however, a three-judge panel has now overturned that ruling. "We'll be back up on the overpass," Ovadal says. "This is, of course, a contentious issue and there are two sides to every issue. And we're presenting our side, which we believe is the biblical side." Although his message angers some motorists, Ovadal maintains that it is biblical and greatly needed. [Fred Jackson]"
