"Amazing how the authorities didn't throw the "gay" protesters out of the stadium as they disrupted the first half of the meeting."
It was explained this morning (on KVI radio by Kirby Wilbur) that the no-cost admission constituted an "open invitation", and that once they're in, they have TONS of latitude in the "expression of their First Amendment rights". No one knows better than these professional disruptors just what those limits are (and how close they can come to the edge).
Cops are stuck in the middle.
Kudos to all who braved the "great unwashed" (I had to work ;'{

As we sang - they begin to retreat from their protest positions near the lower levels of the stadiums. Praising the Lord and singing of His goodness seemed to be more than most of them could take. Maybe if there is ever another rally like this, organizers should consider doing songs first. If it drives away or drowns out protesters, the speakers can then be heard.
