Perhaps he read the article, which says:
The gay and lesbian parents say they won't carry signs or chant slogans, but will wear rainbow-colored leis as a unifying symbol.A unifying symbol... a unifying political symbol is why they are going. So now we go back to what Antoninus asked you:
I seem to remember Cindy Sheehan getting kicked out of the State of the Union Address for promoting a political cause. Did you protest that action as well? Are the Bush admin bigots for not letting her stay?Answering his questions may demonstrate some inconsistencies on your part.
I truly don't see anything wrong with it. If they don't say anything, who cares? Now, if they started chanting, or holding signs, my opinion would change. If you're really concerned for the children, I'm sure a parent could come up with an explanation as to why many of the parents are wearing multi-colored leis if they don't want to get into it with their kids. It would be like telling Christians they couldn't wear crosses.
