Hypocrasy at its finest.

I listened to what they told Pence and they spoke to him in a very respectful way. He's the new Vice President and people are concerned about their safety (for obvious reasons).

Like usual, a whole lot of hoopla over nothing. When are we going to receive an apology from the President for all of his misogynistic, racist remarks? When will he apologize to President Obama for all of the lies he contrived about the birther movement and his citizenship?

That's what I thought.

You guys just have no composure. No timing. It's all what is going through your emotional heads at the moment. That's why many of you are burning New Balance shoes, smashing windows, calling for civil war on twitter, asking for someone to assassinate the Prez-elect and other emotionally unstable stuff.

No one is taking away your rights. You're virtue signaling and being an alarmist for no reason. How can most of you be this dense?
The cast gave the performance and also exercised their Constitutional rights so what is your problem? The right wing LOVES the Constitution until it is used by people to practice their rights. Oh the blatant hypocrisy! Sorry but the desire of a legislator to deny civil right to others is despicable and nothing changes that. The light should be shone brightly on people that do and it was...too bad!

Lol, that's what I thought. None of these people were probably ever even going to see the show. Boycott away

Yeah it's their right but these loser actors are classless.


The actors were as tacky as the audience.

And despite a few tokens, that cast wasn't "diverse," either. No surprise, here.

Which was no small part of the reason why the Democrats got their asses handed to them during the recent election, and why the Republicans now hold the strongest position in federal and state governments that they have had in almost 100 years.

Yet somehow the Democrat left has managed to learn nothing from this. So they are doubling down for more of the same. Do they really not know that if they continue to do the same things the same way, they will continue to get the same result?

Democrats.....THE PARTY OF INTOLERANCE, BIGOTRY, AND DEPRAVITY.

It's why they are losing most of the congressional seats, governorships, state legislators, and local elections -- people are fed up with this stupid crap.

Voting against certain positions that the LGBT lobby advocates for is not denying you civil rights. If it's up for a vote and a person votes against it, it's denying your rights? I mean people can have differing opinions no matter how much you disagree.

That is the difference. You can disagree. I don't get why the left is so adamant about their ideals being so monolithic and universally accepted as the right ideals.

There's a constructive way and a destructive way to make your message known.

How come the theater owner didn't throw out those who disrupt the show with their boos...that would have been the appropriate way to handle this.

The actors were paid to do a show. Do your job. Voice your opinion when you are not on the job.

I hear you.

More than a few liberals need to understand what it means to "win friends and influence people" or their platform will be seen nothing more but an empty one sided emotional tirade whine fest and their view will simply be ignored by their pathetic/immature approach in many cases. And so far their approach gets an F- in my view and in the view of many.

They will feel it. Condemnation is on both sides of the fence.
