You're right I don't see any irony. I see a group (who did none of the official work) wanting to make a statement at the cost of those who did work. How is that respectful of the choices made by Stonewall? Were Pink Pistollers not allowed to sit on the Stonewall board and make suggestions?
Again I ask why did they choose to make a statement at another's expense? Would you want someone doing it to you? (You have yet to answer, perhaps there is something I overlooked.)
Just because Stonewall didn't want them carrying guns doesn't mean they were prejudiced against them. Perhaps they just felt this wasn't the place for that particular statement.
Were the Pink Pistol memebers even from the Columbus area, or were they "bussed in" to make their own statement and create problems? (BTW this made press for the Pink Pistols and got them attention that just being at the event may not have.)
Again, by your statements, I should allow anyone at my rally. So if KKK and Neo-Nazis show up at my peaceful demonstration I should allow them to, when their organization's whole purpose is about hatred?
Should a peaceful Muslim demonstration asking for recognition and trying to educate about their religion allow radicals tied with terrorism to their demonstrations?

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
