No, I don't think "we" have established that at all. In fact if
you will read my post carefully, you will see I made absolutely no such
suggestion. I wasn't at Friday's anti Trinity Fest rally, so I
don't know if speakers were shouted down or not. I hope
not. I have no problem with civil, orderly protests, marches, or
individuals speaking out for or against groups, causes, whatever.
If someone chooses to protest Trinity Fest - go for it! Just be
aware of and respect the boundaries (remember Dr Joe counsels us that
"there is no such thing as an 'unfettered' right" including Free
Speech). <br>
<br>
All I was pointing out is I found the choice of places for organizing the protest to be amusing. No more, no less.<br>

As far as Moscow's (or any community's) Gay populace - they can live anywhere they want. Polygamists too, for that matter.<br>

As Teeriffic would say "Enough Said" eh?<br>
