Don't worry. The ACLU will immediately announce their support, legally and financially, for the free speech rights of these Christians </sarcasm>.

It's gonna take more than a biased article by WorldNetDaily to convince me that these "protestors" are innocent. I've known too many "Christian" protestors.

...and when Democrats wanted to attend private GOP rallies before the election, it was a case of "we are being oppressed for our views, you should be forced to let us in!" Same country, two sets of rules.

The ethnic intimidation charge stems from Pennsylvania's "hate crimes" law

This kind of law is asinine! What ethnicity are **all** homosexuals? ARGH!!!

You can now be thrown in jail in the US for reading the Bible. Killing someone by knowingly having sex with them when you have AIDS... well, that's not so bad.

I will be moving to a VERY "red" state as soon as possible.

so much for protecting the right of dissenting opinions. . . of Christians.

The charges were criminal conspiracy, possession of instruments of crime

Bibles, I'm guessing.

"The ethnic intimidation charge stems from Pennsylvania's "hate crimes" law – to which the newest "victim" category of "sexual orientation" was recently added."

I wonder of this includes paedophiles and necrophiliacs.
I guess the city of "brotherly love" has taken on a whole new meaning in the face of these sodomitic stormtroopers and their allies in goverment.

These folks need to be careful what they sue for. Do they really want militant gay activists to have free rein to proselytize aggressively at evangelical Christian events? If the court decides certain behavior is protected, then it's protected for everybody. Personally, I think the practice of counter-demonstrating at events whose principles one disagrees with is generally a bad idea. There's some justification for it at candidates' campaign events, and at legislative bodies' headquarters when controversial legislation is being voted on. But just going around deliberately annoying people you disagree with, as they try to celebrate what they believe in, is rude and usually counterproductive. It's just as obnoxious for religious protestors to "preach to" participants in a gay festival, as it is for militant gay activists to disrupt Catholic masses (as they have been known to do) with their complaints about the Catholic Church's positions on homosexuality.

Low people seem to have abetors in extremely high places these days. This kind of law enforcement is intended to allow the corrupt to spread corruption, without dissent or interruption.

The Philadelphia court's apparently define brotherly love, some what different from what most folks do.
