Lunch hour on Figueroa Street, downtown Los Angeles: Stepping onto the sidewalk, he said: "Let me see that sign." The sign held by TFP volunteer Mr. Thomas Schneider read "God's marriage = 1 man, 1 woman = children." ...Just then another businessman turned to Mr. Schneider and chimed in: "You're 120% percent correct!.."
...[A] pro-homosexual woman attempted to stop our campaign. "You should really stop what you're doing and leave. If violence breaks out," she told me, "you will be responsible for it. You are inciting people to acts of hate and violence." Her face muscles and hands quivered and trembled as she spoke.... "To suggest that we would be responsible for violence is not just. I invite you to read our flier and see for yourself." But she would not listen and only continued complaining in a loud voice like a broken record....
Changing her "leave now" approach, she started: "You are liars. You are not from California and your banner says 'Californians support traditional marriage.'" Now she was barking up the wrong tree. "Excuse me, 61% of Californians support traditional marriage, one man, one woman," I replied.... At that exact instant, two ladies approached me with thumbs up, saying: "We support what you are doing. We believe in traditional marriage! Thank you!"
"You see," I said, "these ladies are Californian." "No. They are not Californian. They are immigrants." This comment did not go over too well with the two ladies whose jaws dropped open in disbelief. "You've got to be kidding," they responded. "We are legal immigrants and you want to treat us like second class citizens because we support traditional marriage? That's ridiculous." I played a bit the role of moderator now because the debate was escalating rapidly....

It sounds alot like it could be Sowell. Thanks.
I just dropped some coin in these guys’ donation box. They are doing such great work. It’s the least I can do.
darn it!! I drove by that place this morning and didn’t see a thing.
BTW...that is NOT Hollywood Blvd! That is 7th and Figueroa which is the “safer” part of DT Los angeles. Just get out by 10 pm LOL.
It’s because it took place on September 22.
Must be from out of town.
If they really want to mix it up,... they should have the protest on Santa Monica Blvd.
Now THAT would be fun to see. I’d buy tickets. :)
Believe it or not, that corner of Hollywood and Highland is 6 blocks away from my place. If you move 500 feet backwards from that angle, you are sure to be greeted (mobbed would be the better word)by Scientologists and offer you a “stress test”. Especially on the weekends (shudder).

Heh heh. Liberal inclusiveness at its best.
I was thinking the same thing! And it's lost on them, even when we try to explain.
Wrong BLVD. the queers and their pimps are all on Santa Monica Blvd!
