Another victory for tolerance!
[quote]If two gay rights protesters were beat-up at a Christian rally, wouldn’t that have been front page news and banner headlines across the country?[/quote]
I think people have misinterpreted me here, I should have made it more clear that the above quote was not my own and I only partially agree with it (and the source as a whole). I have no persecution complex; Christians are in the majority in the US, and yes, they are often aggressively oppressive against issues like gay rights. That said, the [i]very moment[/i] that you say this attack would be [i]in any way[/i] more justifiable than an equivalent attack with the roles reversed, you have debased yourself to the level of the Christian fundamentalists.

Oh god, the FB comments make me lol so much. In all seriousness; idc what your view on religious people being at a gay pride parade are, the fact is that the people at the parade assaulted the two preachers who did nothing but try to defend themselves. For people to say they can't be there are ridiculous, they have every right to be there, it's public property.
