I'm curious as to why the gay group is so adamant about putting their group's name on their banner. Why do they have their own group?

Probably for the same reason that feminists, blacks, and people of various different religions have their own groups -- to show that the pro-life movement is diverse and contains people from all walks of life, not just women-hating white religious men, as is often the liberal media's portrait of the movement.

That is EXACTLY right! PLAGAL and similar groups (like Feminists for Life) have been trying for years to get media coverage of their opposition to abortion. PLAGAL shows up at Gay Pride rallies to make the point that people need not agree with all the views of the conservative Right in order to take a stand against the tragedy of abortion. I think the pro-life movement should advertise its diversity instead of stifling it. It would do a lot to counteract the image the media has presented.

It appears the group is more concerned with pushing its "gay" agenda than with protesting legalized abortion. Ending the slaughter of unborn children has nothing to do with the type of sexual activity one might enjoy in his or her private life. It looks to me like they went out looking for a fight (so they could whine about their mistreatment), and found one.
