I'm not sure this incident passes the smell test. Although gay militants have engaged in disruptive acts and acts of vandalism against church property, I'm not aware they have crossed the line into acts of physical violence against persons. Gays are normally well aware of how things will play in the press, and beating up a janitor will not play well. So I'm not quite ready to believe this incident happened as described.

I personally believe someone IS setting up Pastor Endrei, but I have nothing to support that other than gut feeling.

Gays who are older and more "in the system" understand the power of perception and the press. But the newest gays - those under 18 - have the same behavioral problems as other sexually precocious juvenile males. The more sexually active teenaged boys are, the more likely they are to be involved with drugs, alcohol, or other illegal activities. Hence, you basically have gangstas, thugs, and other delinquents, but they're also gay.

Juvenile delinquents and young criminal males might not be the population the gay community was hoping would jump on the band-wagon, but not all gays are sweet, shy choir boys. Now the gay community have to deal with it...

Yeah. Right.

The above is a liberal view. A true conservative knows the press will never run with a story like this.
