Anecdotal, sure. But you and I both know….Whatever.
Oh, and some Christians prayed in San Fracisco’s Castro district and got this warm reception.
This is terrifying. This ought to be on the national news. If this were a Christian mob surrounding gay-rights campaigners, it certainly would be — and should be, as no peaceful protester in this country should be subject to this threat. (And no, this wasn’t a made- up thing: here’s how a local SFO TV station covered it).
Watch this, and tell me these people [Update: by which I mean the enraged activist core, not all gays — RD.] aren’t going to come against churches full force once they have the civil rights laws on their side:
Tell me why Christians and others who oppose this mob don’t have to fear. These people have no idea, no idea at all, what kind of response this kind of thing may call up. One of the members of the Christian group, which had been singing hymns in the street, tells of how they were assaulted with urine, and worse:
What the media covers and doesn’t cover is the heart of bias.

This is saddening. Apparently these people have the courage to pray there every week. In light of Prop 8, they were attacked. Hopefully someone will say, “Hey, they don’t have to like you, and you don’t have to like them, but that doesn’t mean you have a right to assault them any more than they have a right to assault you.”
But I doubt it will happen.

Courageous kids – they’re to be applauded. And prayed for.
I wonder if I’ll be able to display that level of courage when the moment comes.

Just notice the cars parked on the streets to help identify if you might be in a tolerant neighborhood. Prius, Civic Hybrid, Volkswagon, Mini Cooper, Prius, Prius, Volkswagon…
