I agree with you in one respect - the First Amendment does protect freedom of speech, however obnoxious - something the Westboro Baptist Church knows all too well.

Can you blame some people for being irate? I can't.

Remember: these people infiltrated a gay event. If two or three individuals were insulted that their party was crashed I can understand why they got irate.
You are an intelligent poster. It's just beyond me how you can defend this. Did you watch the video?

This is funny. The anti-gays in their attempt on this thread, are just making themselves look even more ridiculous. Now, the funniest part about it, is they don't seem to even see it! Keep posting guys, keep posting!

Despite your glee at being able to "curbstomp" the fat dork?
Put down the bottle. You can't remember what you just said.

Judging by the attitudes and language here, some of which I have reported (so it might be gone by the time you read this), I am understanding why they feel pushed to the limit. I don't know any "violent gays," just kind and peaceful ones; but even they might push back after being subjected to such hatred over the years.
translation. I hate freedom.

I'm with Gizmo. I think I'll leave the pigs here to wallow in their mud. Time to go watch the fireworks with my finace (a DUDE! *GASP*).

He doesn't know what he's saying any more. Korsakoff's Syndrome will do that to you.

LOL... nice try, but where did I say they shouldn't be free to say those words? I only said it helps me to understand why they might push back. You do realize freedom of speech doesn't exempt you from having to face consequences & reactions to that speech, right? Oh I forgot I was dealing with someone who thinks shoving another person is worthy of the death penalty.

Okay, now I'm really outta here!! As I said above, you need a beer or something. Happy Fourth!

Happy Fourth of July, Gizmo!

I'm off to see the fireworks myself in about an hour or so myself.

My other point is that there are hundreds of gay pride parades and events all over the country and we never hear of this kind of scuffle. Here in Pennsylvania, gay pride parades take place not only in big cities like Philly and Pittsburgh, but all over the place like in towns such as Allentown, Reading, Lancaster, Wilkes-Barre, Erie, New Hope, Harrisburg, etc. and everyone has a jolly good time.

I think this thread is just some lame attempt to paint LGBT people as evil violent people. Sheesh!
