    I am completely and utterly for gay rights and all such things. But the people at pride caused the fight. They don't need to fight to prove they are better, just be.

    Will it ever be acceptable for a guy to be gay in society?

    I doubt it. yet, for girls it's the ultimate edgy fashion accessory and an opportunity for them to flex their muscle where the guy has none, the big floppy baby.

    So the God Squad went there looking for a fight and found what they wanted.....

    A religion of peace and understanding, one thing I realized years ago that Christian Extremists are just as looney as their Muslim brothers.

    They shouldn't have gone near it. Just preaching rubbish, looking for confrontation

    There's always going to be trouble when two groups, equally eccentric and from opposite ends of the spectrum cross paths...

    Not really fair to say they went looking for fight, more to protest or "save" people as they would see it. They had every right to be there also.

    Free speech. Surely both viewpoints can be preached publicly, without either side assaulting anyone.

    Not if they can act like adults and have an argument without thinking that beating the other guy up proves your point.

    I'm all for gay rights and all but not scumbags attacking people.

    Looked just like a thread on AH to me...obnoxious guy baiting another and the guy finally snaps and gets arrested/red carded.

    It's never gonna happen. Religious fanatics cannot be reasoned with, ever. They believe they have God on their side. Game over.

    In this exact incident it was the people attending pride who were being the dicks. From what I saw the religious cnuts were just waving signs, which they are allowed to do without any consequence.

    They went there looking for comfrontation, they got it in spades, they knew that they were not going to "save" anyone there, they just wanted a fight (albeit verbal not physical).

    I'm talking in general terms. Religious nuts that protest at events like this know damn well that it's got real potential to develop into something more serious though.

    It is hard to make any call as the video didn't show how they protesting. Either way they shouldn't have treated like that.

    In fairness, you never know how some tubby redneck is going to react, well yes you do actually, it was always going to end in a brain fart.

    the god guys knew they were provoking people and should expect it.

    That said, i never agree with men attacking others from behind when they have a group to support them

    I feel bad for the guy, getting flustered like that it is their day so let them be.

    These gay pride marches are a part of life, now so the fanatics needn't troll it and only make themselves look worse in the process. But you can bet in that climate the girls will be taking a stronger, more unabashed and unified stance!

    OMG! Did you all see how the US police force ran in, tased everyone, shot a couple of dogs, high-fived each other, and then pissed on the camera people?!
