Post details: I'm Tolerant, as Long as you Aren't a Goddamn Evangelist

I'm Tolerant, as Long as you Aren't a Goddamn Evangelist

After reading this article, I laughed. I thought I was done laughing, and then I laughed some more. I'll start you off with a quote in reference to an evangelical group that met in San Francisco: "they're loud, they're obnoxious, they're disgusting and they should get out of San Francisco." - Mark Leno, D-San Francisco.

Now I'll have you read this paragraph from the referenced news article:

City leaders prepared for the battle earlier this week, when the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution condemning the "act of provocation" by an "anti-gay," "anti-choice" organization that aimed to "negatively influence the politics of America's most tolerant and progressive city."

I could almost end the post there, but I am wondering where the city leaders get the nerve to call themselves the most tolerant city. Now I certainly dislike evangelical sects with the best of them, however, no government has the right to officially condemn a religion (think Bill of Rights). The thought that officials can say these same statements on the same subject is absurd and I can't believe that they can get away with this bs. I never understand how a group that supports some groups from being persecuted can easily condemn other groups. Besides, San Francisco is now just asking for trouble as they are almost inviting real hate groups such as the KKK and neo-nazis to rally in San Francisco for the national attention.
