Why is it so important to this guy to be at the shelter only when filled with vulnerable women?The Hope Center is run by Christians, with over 30 church partners. It also runs a soup kitchen, a culinary school to train people for jobs, and offers showers and bathrooms for both men and women.
But at night, the sleeping mats are rolled out where the food was served hours earlier, and desperate women, some who are escaping human trafficking, find safe shelter in one big room, crammed next to each other on the floor.
The women sleep beneath a large wooden cross, while the staff does their laundry for them overnight. In the morning, they have breakfast before leaving the shelter, and the staff turns its attention to providing lunches, showers, and bathrooms for all homeless people in need.

Coyle came back to the Hope Center the next day, Jan. 29, and tried to gain entry, but was also turned away, this time because he had shown up at the wrong time of day. The “women’s shelter” portion of the Hope mission doesn’t start until after 5 pm, and Coyle showed up in the early afternoon.
He had now been turned away twice.

The Hope Center will also argue that it has a First Amendment right as a faith-based mission to operated its charitable services for women and exclude biological males so that women can sleep in a place that feels safe.
