    Yeah I dunno, in this case, they're both in the wrong. Both the protestors doing nothing different than what WBC does (minus the soldier protesting, etc...but the whole burn in hell stuff), and the people going to the church for sermons against homosexuality. So yeah in this case, I see no right side -_-

    This is rediculous. Just because someone goes to the church doesn't even mean they take its stance on homosexuality. Having gone to Catholic school for 13 years I know that there can be plenty of gay individuals even in a place that intolerant of homosexuality.

    If you don't agree with a church's stance on homosexuality, DON'T GO. It's really that simple.

    Religion is just like politics, you vote with your money (or tithe).

    I strongly disagree with these protesters - not their position, but their method of expressing it.

    I've actually listened to the Mars Hill sermons on homosexuality and I honestly wasn't even that offended. The preacher was just as quick to condemn premarital sex, pornography addiction, and marital infidelity. The minister even compared American football culture with pagan idol worship.

    At least when they're preaching against sexual behavior that is frankly nobody's business, they're all-inclusive on the guilt trip.
