Assume for a second that I truly find marriage to be a disgusting, immoral, unethical degradation of women; held over from a time when women were chattel and that marriage was and is nothing more than legalised prostitution or worse, tantamount to sexual slavery for the woman (I don't). But assume I do, deeply, at the core of my being, and that it would be unacceptable for me NOT to express this publicly, and to try to shame the wedding couple into realising that.
Now assume you feel that way about the WBC assholes' actions. Which of us has the right to protest publicly the activities we dislike?
Now, assume the WBC idiots feel this way, but cannot for logistical reasons, protest the military activities they find so distasteful. Should they be barred for that reason from protesting where they CAN be seen to be getting their message across?
