(USA) - The Rev. Keith Mozingo was surprised when he moved to Baton Rouge earlier this year from Los Angeles to take over as pastor of Metropolitan Community Church of Baton Rouge, which is part of an international fellowship of churches that cater to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities. Baton Rouge is not considered a “gay mecca,” he joked on a recent weekday morning in his office at the church on Tom Drive. “And Baton Rouge is indeed a conservative town, but I think it’s a lot more progressive than it realizes,” said Mozingo, a North Carolina native. “There are small groups (of gays and lesbians) who are regularly getting together to socialize, but there’s no unity,” he said. It’s unity he’s hoping to achieve with a Show Your PRIDE Baton Rouge gay-pride celebration on Saturday and Sunday.
