But there is most certainly the right not to lose your liberty for doing so, even if the act is offensive.
Really? Are you saying that queers busting into a Catholic mass face no consequences for doing so? Or when that guy in Maine rolled a pig’s head into a mosque, that would be ok?
I understand that the church and state there may be intertwined. But that particular sentiment is not what we would want to see applied here....imho
2 years for a protest? I think a 50 dollar fine would be enough. Again, their real offense was pointing out the uncomfortable fact that the church is currently in the service of the KGB. Freedom of speech is there so people can tell uncomfortable truths.
