Operation Rescue Gay Day Protestors
Operation Rescue Protest Results in 5 Arrests
5 of the approximately 50 to 60 anti-abortion protesters who attempted to block traffic by laying down in a roadway were arrested by Orlando Police. Two were minors, Keith McGlade (age 17) and Eric McGlade (age 12) who were released without bail to the custody of their parents. Others arrested include Eva Edl, Howard Heldreth and Josh Turk, currently being held pending $1,000 bond (reduced from the original $2,500 bond).
Operation Rescue had announced to the press that they would have several hundred protesters. The limited turnout was expected by Gay Day organizers and Orlando community leaders, as Operation Rescue has historically over inflated estimates in order to attract media attention.
