This makes me wonder what to expect at January's "Walk for Life" in San Francisco that I plan to attend. Here, a group of evangelical Christians must be escorted by police from Castro Street after a passer-by convinced a crowd that the group was there to protest the anti-Proposition 8 crowd, although that was not true. The crowd turned to a mob and things got ugly.
"Their rights were respected," said Joe Schmitz, an opponent of Prop 8. "They got a chance to go ahead and pray on the sidewalk and I had the opportunity to express my freedom of speech which is telling them to get out of my neighborhood."Members of the gay community insisted that their reaction to the Christian group was spontaneous. "It was not an organized thing. We're tired of it. It's not religious. It's not a racial thing. It's about hate. We're trying to send a message across the world that we're standing up and we don't want this to go on anymore," said Adam Quintero.
Hopefully, the issue on Prop 8 will not spill over into the Pro-Life March. I have a feeling it might.
But I am still going.

The March for Life in D.C. has always been very quiet and prayerful with only a few token dissenters standing on the sidewalks. They too, however, have been quiet, standing in silence with a poster boasting their pro-choice position.
This year I have a feeling the March might very well be violent. Everyone I've spoken to has had the same gut sense.
We'll see.
The sodomite spokesman was right. It is about about hate; THEIR hate.
When I see these videos (this one and the one with the older lady with the cross being ripped from her hands), I can't help but think these people are somehow possessed. They act like frothing demons.
Maybe you should bring some holy water along with you to the march. Spray it on them and watch them sizzle. Scary.

Let's all say it together, shall we? Say "Sodom & Gomorrah" three times, as fast as you can....
Saint Francis has officially left the building.....
well, from a professed, newly-admitted, lesbian, all I have to sy is this:
for a group who is protesting the intolerance of society, they sure aren't showing lots of it....
do as I say, not as I do?
TTFN...
