But I'm interested in how you can argue that this group of people are entitled to openly express their homosexuality (which the constitution also
does not protect from individuals)
People have rights that are not expressly stated in the Constitution. The 9th Amendment covers that. Just as I have the "right" to express my
heterosexuality, by holding hands with my husband or kissing him, so does everyone else.
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
when they so openly deny this little old lady her right to free speech?
They didn't deny her right to speech. They yelled over her and gave her a really hard time, but they didn't stop her from speaking.
You can claim the old lady was driven by hate. What about tearing a cross out of her hands and stomping on it?
I made no claims about her intentions or drive. I have no idea why she was there. And I haven't supported what the people did to this lady. I DON'T
support what they did to her.
She is at fault for going there on her "mission".
They are at fault for taking her cross.
What is that driven by?
I can only guess. I would guess anger. Anger at being denied the simple right to get married by people who wield their religion like a weapon to
control other people's behavior.
