Two anti-gay preachers assaulted at gay pride rally
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.

Even the Civil Rights Movement of the 50's and 60's had the Black Panthers and Nation of Islam to use less peaceful means as a part of the struggle. The anti-gay crowd has become too bold in how and where they protest. Even the triple K would think twice about having a protest at an African American march. Yet the anti gay groups have no problem doing this. Hopefully there will be a more militant group of gay rights protestors that start policing their rallies and parades keeping these bigots away. If you think about it, to a homophobe, there would be nothing more shameful than having your ass kicked by a gay guy. Maybe the fear of that will keep them away.
