Eleven members of a gay and lesbian group were arrested Sunday during Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral when they demonstrated to protest their exclusion from the Roman Catholic Church.

The protesters were served with a temporary restraining order barring them from trespassing and interrupting the services. When they refused to sit down along with other parishioners, police removed them without incident.
