I do hope that none of this came as negative or judgemental in any way, just trying to describe my thought processes.

You see it as intolerance and hate... they see it as regurgitating God's word. I'm not defending what they said, because it is deplorable, but I will defend their right to say it.

So because gay people have the audacity to be gay and not be ashamed means that others are justified in hating them and teaching children to hate them?
There's a difference between a gay pride parade, which has nothing to do with hating anyone, and displaying hatred and intolerance for people who are gay. You don't see gay people with signs that say "god hates heteros" and chanting about how all heteros are going to hell, do you?
The two simply do not equate. In fact, your comment implies that you think being gay is offensive in and of itself and deserves hatred in return as if its only fair.

This was the funniest thing I have seen in ages.....
Those who complain, tough, its their right and freedom of religion to believe what they want to!!!
They are doing it their own CHURCH not on the street.
Gays should be used to people shoving their views down peoples throats!! All we hear is gay rights this, gives us new laws etc.....

The OP is soooo wrong - kids naturally hate gay kids. I hated gay kids when I was old enough to know what a gay kid was, my parents never taught me. Children are unfiltered and often unrestrained emotion. Restraint and tolerance are not natural instincts they are leaned. People need to get off the people are not really thinking feeling emotional animals trip because we are, evolution or god doesn't matter that's naturally who we are.
But that's also the point of growing up, I don't hate gay kids any more though the prissy Richard Simmons type still doesn't sit well with me. That's there life I choose not to be around it even while supporting there right to be that way.edit on 31-5-2012 by circuitsports because: (no reason given)

Back in the days gays was a bad thing and not legal, now gays ok, then what's next? Bestiality maybe one day be accepted and people will be used to people falling in love and marrying their own pets. I wonder where this world is going...

clear child abuse, those children should be removed from that home. When he becomes a teenager and gets his first boyfriend, his parents may beat him to death, we'll go ahead and stop them now before it's too late.
So we are taking peoples kids away and putting them in foster care because we dont share thier beliefs - is that where we are at now ?
You better climb down off that high horse my friend - the air must be pretty thin up there .

That is about the worst thing I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot. What are these idiots thinking here? Christians of ATS, gonna just sit there and let this BS happen? You say your God is a loving god, and all I see here is hate. Get your church to contact these minions and stop brainwashing little kids! Don't you KNOW when you teach little kid to HATE, he or she grows up and hates even more? Gay soldiers fought and died so these kids have the freedom to even go to church, this is how they are repaid?
