You mean like this? Face it. There are jackasses on all sides. Until you realize that and work to end intolerance BY ALL PEOPLE, you are doing nothing but fueling the fires...

Why did those idiots crash a gay pride picnic? Looking for dates?
But you're right....there are jackasses on both sides. In this case it wasn't the gays.
i Wouldn't have even acknowledged the protesters.
Do you know what a protester is without any attention? A lunatic with a sign. Don't give them the satisfaction of an asswooping it will just make them a martyr. Ifthey aren't even noticed it's not even a news story. It likely wouldn't be an interesting youtube video.
If you want to make them look even worse go over and welcome them, ask them if they want water, it looked like a hot day. And when they say no, **** you ******, or start in with the bible verses. You say, "i am sorry you have a nice day." You make them look likecompletely unreasonable whack jobs.
But you can't change their mind they have abandoned all reason. But this can work in your favor. When you act completely reasonable back toward them, or don't act at all, you give them the rope.
Violence is sometimes the only answer, but I think those days have been long past.
Also, indifference is the worst insult.
