Outspoken anti-closet activist R. Kelly is facing a new problem: protestors in Los Angeles. A protest is scheduled to take place tommorrow outside of Kelly's gig at the Staples Center. While an exact trial date for Kelly has yet to be set, he's currently on a fairly expansive US tour which started in early November and will continue until the end of January. So what the hecks the big deal? Activist Jasmyne Cannick says,

"[people] are acting like he doesn't have 14 counts of child pornography against him."  Oh, right. The child pornography.
