That’s a very good question. I’d like to add another question to it.

What if the situation were the same, but the positions reversed? What if a large group of Christians gathered together (on public land) for a festival celebrating their faith and a small group of gay rights advocates came in the midst of the gathering and started protesting with a bull horn and singing songs.

Would the Christians try to issolate them and prevent their message from being heard? Would we block them from passing through? Would we cheer if they were dragged off by the police and arrested?

Would we be right to do so?
