“Police warned Cohen he could be arrested, so he left peacefully…” Do what? Arrested for what?

-For dressing up like a gay person? Does the word TRANSVESTITE mean anything to the police?
-For dressing up like a preppy? So, it’s illegal to wear button down collars?
-For attending the rally? Didn’t the rallyers want attention?
-For taping the rally? It’s illegal to own a camera? Better tell Verizon, ATT & Sprint.

Gotta say WOW!

Christians are such tolerant people who love their neighbors and turn the other cheek… obviously we need more of them in charge of how we live our lives.

“Police warned Cohen he could be arrested, so he left peacefully”

What the hell?! Seems like Cohen was being pushed and shoved by curious (angry?) demonstrators. The cops, as per usual, get it wrong. Very disturbing.

BTW, I happen to agree w/the demonstrators — but the cops have gotten completely out of hand.

Let me clarify – I agree w/the demonstrators position on gay marriage – not on shoving Cohen. Those people ought to have been arrested for assault.

I don’t turn the other cheek but I do shake the dust from my shoes.

They would have had to arrest me, if they told me I had to leave a demonstration because I might upset the HETEROSEXUAL hordes. God knows I have had Bible Beating knuckle dragging MORONS show up at EVERY LGBT Pride event for 30 years.

I disagree with some earlier posters, I think he should have gotten the living crap beat out of him, then hauled away in handcuffs, so leftists can get a clear view of one of their own being treated the way normal people are by leftist mobs every time they gather. A baton would have come in very handy, it’s about time these leftist/anarchists get what they reserve for those who disagree with them.

What you suppose would have happened if Christian Reich folks had been left to their own devices, against someone they thought was queer, doesn’t fit with some of the folks I know. Especially karate drill teams of gay women. They would have kicked you across the face and STOMPED your teeny tiny male bits, before anyone else stopped them.

Mark, you are full of crap man, as a god-fearing Christian myself, how dare you say that christians are intolerant people, from what I’ve learned and checked Mark, it’s your friends the radical homosexuals who are the real “intolerant” ones. Your folks Mark make fun and mock people of faith and also demonize them as well, and just like on this Bill out in California, your radical gay butt-plug friends have criticize those who vote yes on 8 are “raaacccciiisssttt”, “hooommmooopppphhhoooobbbiiiccc”, and other BS garbage. And make no mistake about it either Mark, I to have a few gay friends and none of them don’t want to get married, they want to continue to go out with different partners.

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!!!

“I to have a few gay friends and none of them don’t want to get married”… So they all want to get married, and you want to limit their civil rights based on their sexuality. It’s unconstitutional and illegal. Get a clue, and get an education to better understand grammar and spelling.

Neither I or my partner of 6 years would choose to marry, but I do support those LGBT Americans who do choose to marry.
Christians leaders from Falwell, Pat Robertson, Ted Haggard, Ron Luce, Jimmy Swaggart….make their MILLIONS having senior citizens send these FREAKS their very last dollar to HATE QUEERS. Anita Bryant, and Fred Phelps were two of the most virulent fag-bashers and wrap themselves up in Christianity.

THIS is how I say Christians are INTOLERANT judgemental hateful PIGS
