International anti-gay group coming to Lynnwood

The Stranger says an overseas group with connections to local pastor Ken Hutcherson is coming to the Lynnwood Convention Center later this month. Slog commenters discovered

the Watchmen on the Walls will hold an international meeting to plot their war against homosexuals and "homosexualists" (straight people who are sympathetic to gay people) at the Lynnwood Convention Center. Calls made yesterday to the Convention Center revealed administrators' ignorance of what they were getting themselves into.
As featured Watchmen speaker Pastor Alexey Ledyaev put it, the Watchmen's mission is "to bring the laws of our nations in[to] full compliance with the law of God." This Taliban-esque mission is made more alarming by the anti-gay violence that tends to swarm around Watchmen events.
