The more I hear, the more I think it's not unlike the civil rights movement of the sixties. It not about skin color, but it is about civil rights, whether people like it or not.

I hope the "Christianists'" report of sexual interference and assault wasn't true. Remarks like "may have urinated on us", can get misquoted, and re-actions escalate in a hurry.

That said, I'm glad the advocates of this ugly proposition 8 are getting their comeuppance! Their "conversion" and "worshipping " on Castro street corners is provocative, whatever their rights are to do so. They've asked for it! The Castro residents have mostly stayed out of their faces (and neighborhoods!) so far, and yes, the "Christianists" ( or any other homophobics) should stay out of theirs.

There're plenty of other places to 'worship', so cut the crap "Christianists"; conversion is interference. If gays want to hear you, they'll find you...so leave the neighborhoods the fuck alone! :1spar:
