This is a follow-up to this article posted in April:

Now Johnson is filing a federal lawsuit against the Board, claiming it can’t banish First Amendment free speech rights to a 10′ x 10′ square off the beaten path, especially during a major public event in which organizers have a non-exclusive permit to use the park.

This is normally a story out of the UK, not the US. Liberal incrementalism at work again...

That's the money-shot right there. If the park is open to the public, government has no business judging the content of someone's free-speech. Eventually the USSC is going to boot this ruling to the moon.

...gay pride fest

As I've asked repeatedy, and will continue to ask, what exactly do they have to be proud of?

Proposed bumper sticker, if you want your car trashed:
HOMOSEXUAL. Because there's nothing GAY about it!

What is sad is that there are not entire churches of people who are willing to, on their own, simply walk into that public park as is their right, and while walking through that public park, offer bibles to every person they pass by, as is also their right.

Let the judge try to imprison a million Christians. But apparently, we don’t have any who are free, just this one man.

We need to stop asking permission, and move in force to exercise our rights and responsibilities.

Would the judge then agree to ban display of gay signs or gay literature at a Christian event?

These are the freaks who insist on being married in the eyes of the church yet they do not want the Bible near them. Their demands on the clergy are done out of spite.

if this man wanted to hand out condoms and books teaching children its ok to be queer, this sin-loving judge would be the first one out there helping pass them out.

If a homersexual wanted to pass out stuff at our church celebrations what would we want the ruling to be?

A federal judge says a Wisconsin man cannot hand out Bibles inside a gay pride festival this month at a public park in Minneapolis.

He'd also be charged with a crime for photographing public sex in the park washrooms.

The national gay rights lobby has been seeking to decriminalize washroom sex since it "unfairly" prosecutes members of the same sex (since they are the only ones who can legally enter the washroom).

They say it leads to embarrassment, public scorn and ridicule, and criminal prosecution.

Down is up. It's is too late to save this nation.

I understand that a person has the right not to accept something offered but I cannot understand how a judge can prohibit someone from offering something.

If it is just a gay thing what will the judge do about the presence of a bible when a gay person rents a hotel room to attend the event?
