Folsom Street Fair

Some people are just completely nuts.
And no, I am not talking about the Folsom Street Fair participants.
I am talking about the protesters.

When attending the fair last Saturday, I heard some noise about anti-Miller beer (one of the fair sponsers) groups. While I did not actually see any of these groups, I later found one of them online.

Supposedly they are angry about this:

And the, there is another total nut, Frank Pastore, who wants to thank the Fair for reminding us how horrible gays and liberals actually are.

I’d like to thank the organizers of these types of events for reminding Americans what’s at stake in our culture war, why politics is important and what it means to be a San Francisco liberal. Each of us can now more easily think of our town, our school or our local park being the site of one of these obscene events. Of course they have the right to project their deviance—within the parameters of the law—as an expression of their free speech. But, every other American also has the right to protest and say, “Oh no. Not here. Not in our community!”

And thanks again for reminding the whole world, and especially Christians, why the words “homosexual” and “anti-Christian” are—in practical terms—synonyms.

Well thanks all you guys for reminding me why I, myself, enjoyed the fair. It is probably (unless you are raving like a crazy person protesting at the barriers) the last place I would see people like you.
