No. "Pro-gay" isn't inherently hating of Christianity. There are gay Christians and many straight Christians who are also supportive of the LGBTQ community.

Gay and Joseph, Mary and the Nativity scene dont exactly go together. A bit idiotic to create such a ridiculous scene in the first place.

When I Googled "nativity scene encaged in bars" I came up with nothing, so it must not have been that big of a freak-out. Was it investigated as a "hate crime?"

I'm 90% sure the church the vanalizing themselves for the attention.

A gay minister prosecuted for a hate crime. It would make the story more interesting.

A bet hundreds of nativity scenes are vandalized every year. It's just not news worthy.

We have to add "gay" to everything, don't we?

A depressed gay man
Are you saying that only Christians are allowed to shove things in people's faces? Why should only they be allowed to have all the fun?

Good.

While I'm all for ones 1st amendment rights, I'm also for someone's right to see it as a vulgar display meant to be confrontational.

Isn't the picture of a nativity scene? (That's what I was told in the thread.)

I don't know if it was investigated as a hate crime, but the point is both sides freak out at the smallest thing done by the other side. One side is always trying to make the other side look worse than they are (like what you're doing here). And both sides are constantly looking for a reason to criticize the other side. Really--conservative or liberal, religious or secular, right-wing or left-wing, Democrat or Republican...we're all the same.
