Hey Christians, Tolerate This

In the category of "You've got to be kidding me" we find a news article about the age old festival of a taxpayer-supported "gay" celebration in San Francisco, who's main advertisement is a poster portraying Jesus Christ and his disciples as "half-naked homosexual sadomasochists."

This poster has come under heavy fire from major Christian groups who are demanding that California lawmakers condemn it for reasons including the fact that in the poster shows the bread and wine, representing Christ's blood and body, with sadomasochistic sex toys.

In my opinion the irony of the entire situation is the fact that this "street fair" which has been going on since 1984 is sponsored with Tax payer funds and even claims house hold co-sponsors like Miller Brewing Company. The city will also be providing on-the-clock police officers who will not paid by the organizers, but will instead be paid by the tax payers of San Francisco.

Matt Barber, policy director for cultural issues with Concerned Women for America, had the following statement:

"Senator Larry Craig was arrested and driven out of the Senate for allegedly soliciting public 'gay' sex, yet during this event the city of San Francisco suspends the law and allows 'gay' men and women to parade the streets fully nude, many having sex – even group orgies – in broad daylight, while taxpayer-funded police officers look on and do absolutely nothing."

Barber encouraged mainstream media to cover the event with cameras in hand.

"There's an unbelievable news story here," he said. "The Folsom Street Fair is reminiscent of biblical Sodom and Gomorrah, and the media should document exactly what the city of San Francisco is allowing to occur – in public – in the name of tolerance."

So with the gay community so quick to jump on Christians for anti-gay and "homophobic" rhetoric, and the mainstream media so quick to jump on religious fanatics like Freddy Phelps, do you think there will be any attention paid to the hypocrisy of this event and the advertisements that were used to promote it?
