Jesus and the disciples also went many places to share the news of salvation. There were some times when the people came to him but if you want to catch fish you gotta go where the fish are.

The Gospel is in itself offensive to some.

It all depends upon how it is presented. If I scream in someone's face, and wave the bible about in a condescending manner; I'm pretty sure it's going to be offensive.

If I approach that same person with respect, humility and as an equal; the response is likely to be very different.

How was Christianity portrayed in this example? Thier message was good; their method of delivery was not.

They sang songs and held signs with scriture in them. Gays are intimidated by the gospel, but the point is they were not confrontational, and could easily have been ignored. They had a perfect right to "peaceful protest" that in itself is not a crime.
