Religious right poster boy has arrest record a mile long

This is rather fascinating. The religious right has been squawking about some of its protesters who got arrested in Philly at a gay pride event recently (more background on their squawking here). According to the top religious right groups, the protesters were just innocent Christians arrested for practing their faith - and the religious right is now blaming "homosexual lawyers" working at the Justice Dept for the arrest.

Michael Marcavage, the group's leader, has a history of arrests as long as his arm. (See the link above). And according to the Feb 19, 2004 SF Examiner, Marcavage has said he TRIES to get arrested at these protests, so it could be on TV!
