Why is that ?

That is why I state the repulsive actions by gay protestors is very similar to the repulsive actions of the Westboro group.

They, also, have no qualms about interrupting a religious service .
I have not see you post an "Abhorrent Acts" by Gay people. Have not seen any in the News either. Where are they? Real things, not made up crap. Straight people also support Gay Rights. I am not Gay, but have friends that are, and they are good people. They don't hate anyone, like you folks do. In fact, they don't even hate folks like you.

You folks are about as close to the Westboro as anyone can come, without being a member. You share the same Hatred, and the same contempt for your fellow man, if they don't follow your beliefs. The only difference between you people is who you hate, and your kind is more violent. Sad....

Ok, I'll take a page from your passbook. How are churches trying to force their beliefs on everyone else and trying to influence laws which reflect the separation of government and religion as stated in the constitution? Specific examples please.

And how does someone expressing their views on same sex marriage or any other aspect of a gay lifestyle, but not acting to discriminate against gays in the workplace, does not refuse to serve them, or to rent to them, for instance, discriminate agajnst gays?.

If you say "Yes, they can defy their God, defy their interior spirit and conscious." I'll say "Yes, you can marry someone of the opposite sex." which you most certainly can and deny yourself, your enter spirit and your conscious. This is not a one-sided issue.

I truly believe that some gays do believe in freedom of religion for both themselves and others but they are not the ones in the news or trying to force wide acceptance. Obviously, the articles and examples posted apply to probably a minority of what appears to be made up of people not well educated, probably not too moral even when leaving religion out of the picture as they are obviously disrespectful of others, sort of the barbarians of the homosexual community. I am also betting that the majority of gays, just like the rest of us, want someone baking our cake, arranging our flowers and taking photos in regard to our wedding that is excited and considers it a pleasure to serve us.
Did you read the examples you posted of "Gays" disrupting Church Services? I did. The first link said had this to say:

"four protestors showed up at a church-hosted gay pride event, two more protestors disrupted the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer’s 8:30 a.m. worship service on Sunday, leading to police being called.
Friday's event, the first of its kind in Cleveland County, attracted a crowd of nearly 300 people of all ages, races and genders for a picnic behind the church. The event was called #ShelbyLoves by organizers and there are plans to make it an annual festivity."


It was a "Gay" event, hosted by the Church, so your trying to say Gays disrupted it? How about it was protesters from Gay Hate groups that disrupted the Church event?

The other "link" claims Gay activists threatened to disrupt services, because of the Churches views on ABORTION and Gay Rights. No one did. It was just a claim made by anti Gay, anti-Abortion wing nuts.

So what was your point? That some Churches support Gay Rights? If it was the point, you provided a link for it. Thanks.
