I'm sure you've all seen the link on Facebook by now about the woman standing on a busy street corner with an anti-gay sign who is promptly slushied by a girl with a differing opinion. If not here's the video link.

Honestly upon watching this I thought they were both wrong. While everyone has the right to voice their own opinions, but seriously? There are many same sex parents out there doing a better job raising a child than half of the conventional households out there. So that sign is a real slap in the face to those individuals. Then there is the girl that slushied her and though you can't hear the dialogue on the version that I posted, it wasn't pretty. They are both just hurting their own cause. In my opinion, both of them are idiots and just need to go home.
To be honest I was just happy the woman didn't have anything scriptural on her sign. I think we have enough Westboro idiots out there preaching hate. In place of that I think more people of religion should stand up against Westboro and say that any church that preaches that kind of hate shouldn't be considered part of the Christian faith. If you are an individual that feels this way towards gays, that's fine. But it's not okay to form a cult about it. And as I've said in a blog before this one I firmly believe that God would take in a kind hearted atheist and a kind hearted homosexual before he'd ever take in a hateful Christian.
Live and let live people, it's a simple concept.
