Those freaks are always protesting outside the San Jose HP Pavilion. I don't think I've seen a show there where they haven't shown up.

Wayne is right! They scream about worshiping false idols. Seen em there when I saw Madonna, Janet Jackson and Tina Turner.

Y, those guys are locals; I see them a few blocks away from where AI was held all the time. They stand outside Starbucks and a Bally's (known locally as the gay gym since so many gays go there), post their sign, and the leader preaches. He has a hell of a voice, but he is so much background now that no one really pays attention. I keep trying to get my boyfriend to do a kiss in front of them so we can take a picture.

Interesting: Those pillars across the street represent San Jose native ice champions (suprisingly, there are four) the one on the left is Rudy Galindo. Not only is there a gay singer inside, but a giant phallic symbol right near them. Maybe they secretly like that...

I was there in San Jose - stood in line by these protesters for at least 45 minutes and they were NOT protesting Adam, Alison, Kris or anybody else. They were reading from the Bible about putting worldly things before God and worshipping "false idols", etc etc. It was Michael Sarver, attention whore who started the Twitter thing that it was about Adam. A sign that says Jesus Loves You is not anti-gay - you see that EVERYWHERE in Ca. The big sign said God Will Judge You and included "money lovers, hypocrits, sports nuts, sex addicts, witches", I can't remember what all, but their objection was to the word "idol", which I guess I can understand a little. I'm sure they have never seen an episode and have very little understanding of current cultural atmosphere. If they would have been saying anything about Adam I guarantee you that they would not have lived to protest anywhere else haha we would have smote them down lol. Peace.

I just think that so called christians now days are so quick to judge other peoples sin that they forget to look at there own sin. I personally believe that there is a greater need out there to witness to people to bring them to Christ, then to be so quck to judge them. If we all were without sin then we would be back in the garden. People often say that being gay is a sin and that Jesus hates homosexuals. Well i say to them give me just 1 verse in the bible that Jesus himself says ANYTHING about being gay. I can guarantee you that you will not find any.
