So much for tolerance. And these folks don’t understand why they aren’t taken seriously. If you act like children you are treated like children. A demonstration like this will do nothing for their cause. It will only make them look like the spoiled little brats they are!
A radical gay rights organization – Bash Back — is claiming the responsibility for a protest last Sunday at Mount Hope Church in Lansing, Michigan. Protesters infiltrated the church and surprised the congregation when they stood up during the service, threw fliers at churchgoers and shouted slogans such as “It’s OK to be gay,” and “Jesus was a homo,” among other things.
It frustrates me that Christians are always labeled as “intolerant” on these issues. Gay couples have not been denied ANY civil rights whatsoever; they simply cannot call legal unions “marriage.” Marriage is a sacred institution to not only Christians but by many other religions in the world. Labeling different types of relationships with different terms is not intolerant.
This meltdown by Bash Back was unconstitutional – a violation of the 1st amendment to use an act of aggression to disrupt the free assembly of others. What these protestors did was similar to how the Klu Klux Klan terrorized the black churches decades ago.
Of course, this outrage stems from the recent propositions in California (Proposition 8, 52% voted for Yes); Florida (Proposition 2, The Marriage Protection Amendment, 62% voted Yes); and Arizona (Proposition 2 - Marriage Protection Amendment, 56% voted Yes). I understand their disappointment but they really should grow up!
The insanity doesn’t stop there. The Mormon Church is now being targeted for their support of Prop 8, including arson. And, a California Art Director from The California Music Theater in Sacramento, Scott Eckern, was pressured by gay groups to resign because of his personal beliefs about marriage. Seems to me that he is now a victim of intolerance and persecution. I am just waiting for the day when my employer asks me if I voted yes or no for Prop 8. Where is the ACLU when you need them?
I wonder if Bash Back plans on protesting outside of a Mosque, since homosexuality is forbidden by Muslims. That would be interesting. Ahh, who knows … maybe they’re just mad at the Christians.
