Gay activist Mel White and his partner Gary Nixon this month moved into a rented cottage across the street from Jerry Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va. Mr. White leads Soulforce, a protest group that pushes the homosexual agenda among churches and denominations. Before he declared his homosexuality, he was an evangelical writer who ghost-wrote Rev. Falwell's autobiography. He told reporters that he and his partner came to town to correct "misinformation" by Rev. Falwell about homosexuals.

"I can't think of anyone who needs it more," he added.
