Why do you think that homosexuals have a right to a festival on the public streets and those who want to protest it don't a right to do so?

WTF? It wasn't in a private building, or grounds. There were no barriers, no admission fees. It was just in the regular, public, open streets.

There's a fine line between protesting something and disrupting it. If people have a parade permit, others don't have a right to block the parade just because it's a public street. Now, I don't tknow whether anything like that happened, or whether the protestors were in some other sense trying to disrupt the parade. But I think that at some point speech and protest can verge into actual obstruction, and then you have a legal conundrum.

The homosexual groups had a permit from the city to run their event on the public streets. As for those protesting it, their presence was undoubtedly disruptive - that was the point, right? Whether that constitutes a violation of the law, the courts will have to decide.

The Christians of Pennsylvania, as well as those of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Virginia, Connecticut, and New York, should remember that they are endowed by their Creator with backbones. They should drive or take a bus or train to Philadelphia to stage a protest that would make the Million Man March look like a garden party.
