"I think it's great that we can come together as family."

I always shudder when I hear a homosexual refer to "coming together", ESPECIALLY when it involves a family. Yes, I know - I hate Freudian psychiatry, too.

The article reports actions by the pastor that are wrong - he went beyond handing out literature. I agree with his point of view - the Bible is clear about that. I disagree with the park being off-limits; renting out a government owned facility doesn’t turn it into private property. The pastor, as all Christians, should behave himself. Throwing something - even if it was harmless - displays arrogance. Not good for the Christians to behave in such a fashion.

Our society is in a death spiral of moral rot. So very sad.

Free speech is a thing of the past. Anyone that thinks otherwise is a fool. The 1st amendment is a liberal outlet only … conservatives need not apply.

Yes

This is what brought the glorious Roman Empire to its knees.

History repeats itself.

At the rate things are going, that will probably be a hanging
offense within our lifetime.

Unless the Gaystapo figures out the worst thing they could do
is create a martyr that about 85% of the population would identify with.

For the second consecutive year, a gay pride parade and festival
was marked by the arrest of a Wichita pastor.


Keep the faith, baby!

And don't let Wichita be warped into
"San Francisco on The Arkansas" (river, that is)

I don’t know about you but I am so tired of being the “Silent Majority”

The more I try to “Just get along”... the worse it gets...

These people see kindness as weakness...

Kind.. Yes

Not good that he threw it, but you can see the police were there waiting for even the slightest justification to arrest him. In such circumstances the pastor should have been very careful.

But I still see this as another step towards us becoming like Canada with “hate speech” laws. And the sidewalk area where they could protest was just another version of the oxymoronic “free speech zones.”

I read that for the very 1st gay pride parade in San Diego, back in ‘73 or ‘74, the police told the organizers that they couldn’t guarantee their safety. At that time, the subject of homosexual pride and being so open about it was so shocking to people, that the police were afraid it would incite a riot.

I’m glad there was no violence, and that these parades are peaceful (if lewd sometimes). Just saying, the social climate around these events has really changed.

Why is it that Gays and Lesbians have to march and parade for their proclaiming ‘rights’. How come we don’t see adulterers, fornicators, pedophiles etc... gathering together in pride marches? After all they partake in sexual deviancy too!

This is right. He wasn't arrested for speaking. He was arrested for battery. If you are going to do something the police would like to arrest you for (speaking against homo behavior) but can't, you should make sure not to do other things they can arrest you for. Because you will be arrested.
