How do you know that’s what happened here ? Did the gays pull a permit for their little parade ?
It appears the Christians didn’t pull a permit and ventured where they were not supposed to be . They were removed and arrested, probably for their own protection and to keep the peace .
They have freedom of speech, but they do not have the freedom to incite .

I’m not sure why the Christian group doesn’t pull a permit and have their own parade or prayer gathering . If they get denied a permit, they then have grounds for a lawsuit . It’s that simple .

The only inciting this group did was to show up with their bibles. Homosexuals are so sick they can't take the littlest bit of criticism. They want to invoke hate speech laws to stop the religious freedom of speech.

To keep the peace? What you’re saying is that the sight of Christians praying might cause the homosexuals to lose control of themselves and attack the Christians.

OK, how about just enforcing the law - in other words, if any of the homosexuals attack anyone, cart THEM off to jail. But oh, no...the cowardly cops find it much easier to abuse the people who will turn the other cheek.

Exercising one's right to free speech and expression is not an example of inciting anything. There is evidence these Christians got in anyone's face and harassed them.

It's disgusting people are making excuses for the suppression of basic Constitutional rights.
