Intollerence in San Francisco??

Not at all. I would expect a black politician to make similar statements about a KKK rally or a Jewish politician regarding a neo-Nazi really.

If Christians insist on making homosexuals an enemy, then they had better be prepared for the fallout.

Using the common analogy games played here, you are calling Christians Nazis.

That is just about the end of credibility here.

Yours ran out long ago.

And as for whether Christians are Nazis, that's a logical leap you made all your own.

San Francisco is the Pat Robertson of the left.

It may be unfair...

But then, is blocking various groups from participating in NY's St. Patrick's Day parade fair? Isn't one of the biggest countries in the world, the "doorway" into the U.S., open to everyone? Apparently not. So while San Fran may be too liberal, when they finally do something viewed as - dare I say it - conservative, they are blasted.

Nonetheless, people should be able to congregate. I will not look at this one event and say San Fran. is close-minded. In contrast, groups in NY haven't been able to participate in the parades for years.

if you were a Boston fan, you'd see people praying in baseball stadiums all summer long!

I must be crazy because I've done this.

I think anyone who has been to a playoff game has witnessed praying in a stadium.

The evangelical group calling its event a "battle," the invocation of salvation as a kind of "war," these are indeed provocations.

The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the safe spaces left in the U.S. for the queer, pervy, and sexually adventurous.

Also, most Christians in the SF Bay Area are probably like Cecil Williams and support gay marriage and the like.

So where does that leave us?

I think passing a city resolution against a rally of this ilk is a bad idea, even if *some* of the kids at the rally are anti-gay bigots.

I live and teach in a very conservative area, and while I actually understand the moral argument against abortion (while being prochoice), I have never understood the moral argument against love, thus making homophobia, even the religious kind, one of the most immoral ideas I've ever come across.
