Hundreds of activists in the Dutch city of 's-Hertogenbosch walked out of Mass on Sunday to protest a priest's refusal to give communion to a practicing homosexual, the BBC reports.
Having foreseen the protest, the Roman Catholic church of Sint-Jan had decided not give communion to anyone, according to the BBC.
The dispute began in February, when a priest in nearby Reusel refused communion to the openly gay carnival prince of that nearby town. Same-sex marriage is legal in the Netherlands, but the Catholic Church teaches homosexual acts are sinful.
On Sunday, the BBC reports, several hundred demonstrators in pink wigs and clothes left the church in protest.
