A group of ministers are planning a peaceful protest in a church across from the soon-to-be-opened Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club in Lincoln Park.
Pastor Frank Julian of Faith Christian Assembly on West Outer Drive in Melvindale, across from the club, says they plan to counter the bright lights on the strip club with their own light show when it opens Oct. 30.
“We can’t do it every night like they do,†he said. “But we want to have our own opening night when they do.â€
The ministers will also be accepting donations for turkeys that they give out during Thanksgiving.
“We’re trying to let our good work shine,†Julian said. “We’re saying Larry Flynt is not more powerful than God. It appears like he won. But we’re not quitting.â€
The $4.2-million Hustler club is at John A. Papalas Drive and Outer Drive. It’s liquor license was recently approved after a federal judge forced Lincoln Park city council members to enforce a previous agreement.
"We’re saying: 'Don’t go there. Don’t support it,' " Julian said.
