I don't believe he ever mentioned Republicans. Just violence against gays.

And yes, violence against gays does happen at Pride marches here. In Albany NY, where I live, a man was robbed and beaten into a coma after this year's march. Obviously, money could have been a motive, but last I read, the man was singled out for both the robbery and beating because he was a gay man walking alone after the parade.

I think the American Gay activists should go over there and get right in their face about their intolerance. Uganda is ripe for change too.

Riiiiight......cuz a key tenet of the Bible is that we firebomb people we don't agree with?

Honestly....it just gets old. Christians don't hate gay people, we don't try to attack and kill them. I'm sorry that some nut jobs have done violence in the name of religion...but Christianity teaches nothing like that.

But as the gays in their parade topped a hill, the KKK who were waiting on them felt outnumbered and fled from the scene.

And that comment fails because neither I nor anyone else attempted to say that Republicans are violent against gays.

It wasn't my opinion. I was quoting the headline of the news story.

Interesting how conservatives and Republicans on this forum are responding so defensively to this news story.

Serbia's dominant religion is christianity.

I'm a conservative republican and I just find this amusing...because of all the idiots on the other threads that say islam is so bad because they perpetuate violence, hatred, and terror.

Well, lookie here...
