We are probably on the same “side” with respect to “evangelicals” and “sexual orientation confusion” but we are definitely not on the same page when it comes to freedom of speech and the marketplace of ideas. Tearing that down is pretty offensive.

Tell me you don't understand what freedom of speech is. Without saying you don't understand what freedom of speech is.

Tearing the paper down is freedom of speech too.

No, it’s nihilistic and rude

What those pseudo-preachers offer is pretty damn rude, too.

One could argue that posting the flyer in the first place is also very offensive. I’m not OP, but I’d probably have removed that flyer too. I am all for religious freedom and peoples freedom in general, but I grew up gay here and I’m fucking sick of this, because it comes at every angle. Conversion camps and similar are abuse. No argument. They are abuse. I understand why op had such a visceral response.

I'd leave the flyer alone because how many folks are gonna see it anyway? And of those, how many will attend the blessed event? If the number is anywhere above zero, I'd be surprised.

It is now 7 hours before the appointed time... how many showed? Cannot find any coverage on it. Did they cancel due to lack of interest?

So you're totally ok with lumping LGBT folks in with mental illness?
