Michael Petrelis, a blogger, longtime HIV survivor and organizer of the 5 p.m. event, said that the founder of the Moral Majority needed to be remembered for his legacy of hatred.
"I remember Falwell's hatred of people with AIDS and gay people at the height of the AIDS epidemic," Petrelis said. "It was so un-religious. I feel it's important that we speak out as gay people on the day that Falwell has died. We have to remind people of the hatred he spewed against gays and people with AIDS."
