there is nothing political about posting the truth about sin
and it deserved no hate filled response to deface their sign
I agree that it didn’t deserve the taping of those signs to it: an illegal debasement of property and speech. But yes, it is obviously commenting on the political news and issue of the day.
And I’d give the two sides an about equal rating on “hate”.
Clearly the pro-gay group believes your pastor friend is sinning in his opposition to their agenda, and that’s what their commentary is on.
